The pencil that pays tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat
Limited edition
IT IS NOTABLE FOR:
- Being a special edition that pays tribute to Basquiat and his art . J ean-Michel Basquiat is one of the best-known artists of his generation and is considered one of the most important of the 20th century. His works are energetic and raw, and through a bold sense of color and composition, he maintains a fine balance between seemingly contradictory forces such as control and spontaneity, menace and wit, urban imagery and primitivism. The conjunction of diverse media is an integral element of Basquiat's art. His paintings are usually covered with text and codes of all kinds: words, letters, numbers, pictograms, logos, cartographic symbols, diagrams, etc., and present multi-panel paintings and individual canvases with visible stretchers, the surface of which is full of writing, collage and images.
- His design. The number 57 refers to 57 Great Jones Street in New York , where Basquiat created some of his best-known works.
- Its soft graphite. Perfect for sketching a new character concept or writing a list of their superpowers.

He stated that a pen is full of ink, but the Blackwing is full of ideas. In 2010, Palomino launched the reissue of the legendary pencils that disappeared in 1990.
