About Jean-Michel Basquiat Scented Candle - Glenn (1984)

This Ligne Blanche Jean-Michel Basquiat Scented Candle features a well-known painting of Neo-expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat: Glenn (1984). The sensual woody fragrance is elaborated by the luxury French house Givaudan. Just light the candle and let Art and fine scent fill the room for a delightful relaxing break. Our exclusive scented candle collection with a fragrance by Givaudan brings vibrant contemporary artworks into everyday life. This painting most probably represents a portrait of Glenn O'Brien an East Village art and culture journalist Basquiat knew. Basquiat's portrait of Glenn doesn't resemble O'Brien at all, instead, it consists of a large mask featuring a black head with wide open mouth and black and white teeth. The mask is surrounded by dozens of papers arranged in a collage. Many of the surrounded notepad pages have similar masks like visages. Check out also the Limoges porcelain collectible plate featuring the same painting.

Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the best known artists of his generation and is widely considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His career in art spanned the late 1970s through the 1980s until his death in 1988, at the age of 27. Basquiat works are edgy 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 Basquiat brand embodies the values and aspirations of young, international urban culture.
The conjunction of various media is an integral element of Basquiat's art. His paintings are typically covered with text and codes of all kinds: words, letters, numerals, pictograms, logos, map symbols, diagrams and more, and featured multi-panel paintings and individual canvases with exposed stretcher bars, the surface dense with writing, collage and imagery.
