Crown Earrings

Drawing inspiration from the vibrant artistry of Jean-Michel Basquiat, these earrings pay homage to his distinct style. At the heart of Basquiat's artistic vision, the crown emerges as his signature motif, symbolizing both power and nobility. In his paintings, the crown adorns anonymous, faceless figures, but more prominently, it graces his revered heroes. Among these notable icons are celebrated jazz musicians and acclaimed athletes, whom Basquiat sought to honor through his art.

Resonating with the tradition of famous African American musicians adopting regal titles as nicknames, such as Duke Ellington or Count Basie, Basquiat utilizes the crown to bestow a sense of dignity upon his beloved subjects. Through these earrings, you can embrace the spirit of Basquiat's artistic vision, celebrating the cultural significance of his work and the profound influence he continues to exert on the art world.
