Bask in the moxie and beauty of Neo-Expressionism, as integrated entertainment resort City of Dreams Macau and multi-dimensional art space Artelli is hosting the “Crowning Journey” exhibit featuring the legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat's work.

From today until Nov. 24 at The Showroom at City of Dreams, art lovers in Macau can witness the celebrated icon’s works that embody his bold and innovative spirit, as well as his inspiring journey from being a street artist to a legend in the world of art.

The exhibition features large-scale art installations, immersive and interactive experiences, and multimedia art that will take the spectators into Basquiat’s world. This includes a cluster of art installations that are reminiscent of the 1980s New York cityscapes, where he had his humble beginnings, located at the venue's main portal.

Over at the Southwest Entrance, a ten-meter outdoor installation inspired by the artist’s “Brown Spots (Portraits of Andy Warhol as a Banana)” likewise brightens the exhibition. The Showroom at City of Dreams’ façade is also adorned with a ten-meter-wide canvas with a six-meter-tall crown perched atop, inspired by Basquiat’s “Grillo.”

Visitors can also get their hands on various exclusive merchandise, which includes an art puzzle, a postcard set, and a Mahjong set.

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century, known for infusing avant-garde style with social commentary on his works.

City of Dreams Macau and Artelli’s “Crowning Journey” exhibit is open to the public from 11 AM to 8 PM, while its outdoor installations will be on display for 24 hours daily. For more information, click here.
