1:3 JND Jean-Michel Basquiat Hyperreal Artist Statue

Departing from what we had done, the very popular movie characters, to working on a portrait of a real life artist, it was as if JND Studios was starting over from scratch. JND artists are not merely trying to imitate life. They are trying to capture and express the character.

The final output came from the decision to try to paint a picture of its own. The person is not the only subject matter. Gox, the main artist, combined different objects and pieced the puzzles together so that the collector could view a single piece of art.

In order to capture the character, Gox focused on Jean-Michel’s facial expression. He wanted a hint of disappointment on his face, imagining what he must have felt when he was trying to become a star by selling postcards, and things weren’t going his way.

JND Studios is commercially driven, but we love it when collectors respond to the messages we express in our work. Gox and KOJUN spoke extensively about trying to express the detailed emotion, and we believe you collectors will be able to see these details in different parts of this unique piece.
