New film on the way directed by a close friend of the artist. Check out the details below…

In his short career, Jean-Michel Basquiat was a phenomenon. He became notorious for his graffiti art under the moniker Samo in the late 1970s on the Lower East Side scene, sold his first painting to Deborah Harry for $200, and became best friends with Andy Warhol. Appreciated by both the art cognoscenti and the public, Basquiat was launched into international stardom. However, soon his cult status began to override the art that had made him famous in the first place.

Director Tamra Davis pays homage to her friend in this definitive documentary but also delves into Basquiat as an iconoclast. His dense, bebop-influenced neoexpressionist work emerged while minimalist, conceptual art was the fad; as a successful black artist, he was constantly confronted by racism and misconceptions. Much can be gleaned from insider interviews and archival footage, but it is Basquiat’s own words and work that powerfully convey the mystique and allure of both the artist and the man.

Homeboy Sandman has an upcoming show at Santos Party House this Saturday. So I thought I would add a little bit of a prequel to it with an interview clip where he breaks down the meaning of his name and why he choose to be an MC. Oh, and as an added teaser I also decided to pack this post with a little promo freestyle from some of the artists in Saturday’s show. Enjoy.
