About The Work

Introducing Yellowpop’s ‘Trumpet’ LED neon sign, a visually arresting tribute to Basquiat’s 1984 masterpiece steeped in jazz’s rhythmic soul. This painting depicts a trumpet player wearing one of Basquiat’s signature crowns, placed at an angle as if the force of the music is pushing it off the player’s head. Black brushstrokes of letters emanate from the instrument, capturing the bold sound of the music.

Illuminating your space with this piece is akin to playing a symphony of light, where the bold colors and striking imagery create an ambiance of inspiration and empowerment. The sign is not just a homage to Basquiat’s declaration of presence in the art world; it’s a beacon that echoes his message: an arrival that cannot be ignored, a legacy that is here to stay. It’s the perfect addition to any space that celebrates cultural depth, personal drive, and the undying spirit of jazz.

About the Artist

A poet, musician, and graffiti prodigy in late-1970s New York, Jean-Michel Basquiat had honed his signature painting style of obsessive scribbling, elusive symbols and diagrams, and mask-and-skull imagery by the time he was 20. “I don’t think about art while I work,” he once said. “I think about life.” Basquiat drew his subjects from his own Caribbean heritage—his father was Haitian and his mother of Puerto Rican descent—and a convergence of African-American, African, and Aztec cultural histories with Classical themes and contemporary heroes like athletes and musicians. Often associated with Neo-expressionism, Basquiat received massive acclaim in only a few short years, showing alongside artists like Julian Schnabel, David Salle, and Francesco Clemente. In 1983, he met Andy Warhol, who would come to be a mentor and idol. The two collaborated on a series of paintings before Warhol’s death in 1987, followed by Basquiat’s own untimely passing a year later.
