Summary/Abstract: Jean Michel Basquiet has created an artistic adventure by developing his own discourse during his short artistic career. He described the practicality of art with the questioning attitude and the plastic expression of new expressionist art. Variations in materials and subjects turn into a rebellion of the struggle. The anti-political, ethnically bold new expressionist artist becomes a pop icon, playing a cultural role on the platform where social extremism is intense. His art works, graffiti and rebellious attitude take a different role in the new expressionist style. Cultural experience, media and changing events create profound effects on the formation of art. It is revealed through an upper narrative in the works that the artist accumulates. In this work, the position of Jean Michel Basquiet in the field of art and the contents of his works, the concepts of popular culture, primitivism and new expressionism are taken into consideration.
