Art's Immortal Rock Star Forever remembered
as one of the art world's
as one of the art world's
brightest-and fastest burning-stars,Jean-Michel Basquiat
was in equal measure a masterful painter,
This film is brought to fruition by Tamra Davis,
who befriended Basquiat in the 80's, originally a short tribute
produced in conjunction with MOCA’s retrospective. It was apparent,
with it's intimate and rare footage this was clearly worthy of a feature length film.
He began his meteoric rise to fame in the late 70s,
when he ran away from home to live on the streets of New York.
Branding himself as a graffiti artist under the mysterious moniker
“SAMO©” (a portmanteau of “Same Old”), he soon attracted the city’s
counter-cultural royalty, collecting friends such as Debbie Harry,
Keith Haring, Glenn O’Brien and Andy Warhol,
before turning to painting and storming galleries in
New York and Los Angeles with his brightly hued, neo-expressionist works.
