Product description
This extraordinary Bearbrick set transforms one of the most iconic artist toys into a three-dimensional homage to Jean-Michel Basquiat—the revolutionary Neo-Expressionist who was the first African-American artist to conquer the elitist, white art world. The third edition of this legendary collaboration between Medicom Toy and the Basquiat Estate celebrates his unique visual language with a black-and-white composition featuring his signature writing, symbols, and poetic text fragments.
Jean-Michel Basquiat was no ordinary artist, but a cultural phenomenon. Born in Brooklyn in 1960 to Haitian-Puerto Rican parents, he didn't consider himself a graffiti artist, but rather a writer of lists, blackboards, and vocabulary notebooks. His works are not mere images, but complex texts full of codes, words, letters, numbers, and diagrams that address themes such as racism, classism, colonialism, and power structures. From a homeless street artist under the pseudonym SAMO in the late 1970s to a celebrated star of the Downtown scene alongside Andy Warhol, his meteoric career lasted only a decade, ending tragically in 1988 at the age of just 27.
This Bearbrick interpretation perfectly captures Basquiat's raw, unfiltered aesthetic. The entire surface of both figures is covered with his signature lettering and symbols: the English word "PLUTO" appears repeatedly, "CAST IRON" and "AUTOMOBILE" mingle with cryptic characters, letters like "X," and sequences of numbers. His name, "JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT," is emblazoned across the chest as a powerful statement. This black-and-white reduction emphasizes the graphic, almost symbolic nature of his art and recalls his roots as a street artist. The organic distribution of elements across the head, torso, arms, and legs creates a composition that reveals new details with each viewing.
The set consists of two sizes: the 400% version, approximately 28 centimeters tall, and the compact 100% version, about 7 centimeters tall. Both are fully articulated and made of high-quality plastic. For art lovers and collectors, this set is far more than a designer toy—it's a piece of art history that celebrates Basquiat's legacy as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. His famous quote sums it up perfectly: "Believe it or not, I can actually draw."
