Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Superhero portfolio is a powerful fusion of comic book iconography, street art energy, and cultural commentary. Created in the early 1980s, this series features Basquiat’s raw, expressive style applied to figures reminiscent of superheroes—symbols of strength, resistance, and mythology. Through layered text, frenetic lines, and bold color choices, Basquiat reimagines the superhero archetype to reflect themes of identity, power, and the Black experience in America. The Superhero portfolio exemplifies his ability to elevate urban visual language into fine art while challenging traditional narratives.
