Jean-Michel Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat has such an interesting take on showing emotion through his work. I like how the colours and the textures within the painting really grasps an understanding of how your meant to be feeling. These painting are quite unsettling, and I feel this is done by the thick dark lines shown in all three of these paintings. Bright blues and reds really come through these paintings but again its not very calming but adds to the unsettling feeling you get when you look at them. 

I find these paintings very inspiring when looking at how to use colours to express emotion through my own work. Because even using bright colours but done in a certain way can see make the audience at an unease.
