Amo was thrilled to get to do this homage to Basquiat on the supremely rad Alexis. As artists it is vital for us to know who came before us- who paved the way for us to express ourselves fully. Basquiat didn’t see a space for himself in the art world, so he carved it out on his own even as the world sought to steal that vibrancy from him. If you do not see yourself represented in art, or do not feel there is a space for you to hold, look to history and the trailblazers and innovators who defied norms to add their voices to our collective consciousness. Your voice is beautiful and singular and you are valid.
