The Watchers (After Basquiat) - Digital Art on Matte Canvas

Artist: B. Pazant
A vivid, pulsing tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat’s raw brilliance, "The Watchers (After Basquiat)" channels the urgency of his line work, the spiritual code of his symbols, and the unapologetic boldness of Black expression. Five abstracted figures, masked and crowned in pigment, stare back with wide, electric eyes—guardians of memory, witnesses to survival.
Set within jagged fields of red, green, gold, and blue, each face is a cipher: grief, defiance, clarity, rage, calm. Crown motifs, grids, and glyphs nod to Basquiat’s own language of identity, diaspora, and disruption. This isn’t just a visual homage—it’s a statement. A refusal to be rendered silent. A testament to those who watch, remember, and speak through color when words fail.
