Showcased as part of his debut collection with Castle Fine Art, ‘Basquiat 03’ is a unique portrait of graffiti artist turned global star, Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Both rising to fame in the 1980s, Basquiat and Boy George would regularly see one another at clubs in New York. At the time, Basquiat was still a somewhat unknown artist, so would often ask Boy George to loan him $300. One day, to pay him back, Basquiat invited Boy George to his studio to take one of his paintings. Boy George never did and in 1988, at the age of 27, Basquiat tragically died. He is now considered a pioneer in the neo-expressionist movement and a great inspiration to Boy George.
Boy George’s extraordinary collection of mixed media original and unique artworks are a sight to behold. Portraying a host of known and unknown icons, they explore themes of identity, reinvention and judgement. A true maximalist, no material is off limits, resulting in visual feasts that pour out of the frame.

The artist
Boy George
Boy George is a pure creative. For him, art is everything.
Influenced by people from his past and present, and visions in nature and architecture, his art is quintessentially Boy George - loud, vivid, punk, iconic. Sometimes representing a specific person, sometimes representing us all, each piece tells a story. A story that we must discover for ourselves.
