I visited the Jean-Michell Basquiat exhibition at the Barbican.
Small gallery with the exhibition laid out well on two levels divided in to various sections covering different aspects of Basquiat's career.
The works are very powerful influenced by Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Cy Twombly, street art, graffiti and BeBop Jazz.
There is a tremendous energy about the work. He is like the young Picasso or Bob Dylan producing huge amounts of work changing and moving forwards all the time.
