MODERN BASQUIAT INSPIRED ART AREA RUG. 9 ft 9 in x 6 ft 9 in (2.97 m x 2.06 m).

Beautiful Modern Jean-Michel Basquiat Inspired Area Rug, Country Of Origin: Afghanistan, Circa Date: Modern – This intense, modern rug was inspired by the American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. His neo-expressionist street art gained him notoriety and fame on the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the 1970s. His style was edgy and often had a political or social message. This work addressed the social injustices that he saw in his world. This modern piece from the Artistic Rugs Collection was inspired by the work of Basquiat and his contemporaries.

Heads are a common theme in Basquiat’s later work. His work expresses a certain degree of tension and in the lines and colors. It also has a primitive, almost tribal feel as well. This piece cannot definitively be attributed to this famous street artist, but his influence on the piece stands out. Rugs in this unique collection cannot be attributed to a specific artist, but the style stands out in them, making them the perfect piece of modern art for your home.

This modern rug is the perfect piece for creating a space that is ultra-modern and charismatic. Its graphic design would be the perfect touch for an industrial interior with its street art feel. This rug would complement spaces dominated glass, steel, and furniture that is functional and streamlined.

As with much of the work inspired by Basquiat, this piece has an ethnic flavor that underlies the modern elements. The influence of Basquiat had a lasting impact on the modern art world. His work has complexity and depth. Everywhere you look, you see something that you did not see before.

This Basquiat-inspired rug would be the perfect way to set aside space in an open floor plan apartment. It would also create a visual impact in a loft as the central focal point. This rug has an urban feel that captures the essence of the city. This rug is a piece of modern art that will give the space a gallery feel and will make a bold statement that lets your unique urban style stand out.
