Urban Decay announced
the launch of its brand new makeup collection inspired by the works of the late
American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. The shades and textures featured in
this limited edition collection are inspired by vivacious colors used in
Basquiat’s artworks.
"We’ve been
fans of Basquiat’s art since before the early days of UD; so when his estate
approached us about a collaboration based on his artwork, we couldn’t wait to
start creating. From the colors and shade names to the packaging, EVERYTHING in
this collection evolved from Basquiat’s art. Like Urban Decay, Basquiat was an
outsider who challenged the status quo and used color in nontraditional ways.
From his informal graffiti work and the way he mixed mediums and colors to the
way he spoke out against social injustice, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect
fit for our brand"
The
collection pays homage to the famous artist even with its imaginative packaging
that features replicas of some of his most notable work. In addition, each of
the palettes comes with a cutout on the back, so you can even hang them on your
wall to create a personal Basquiat gallery!

"Artist
Jean-Michel Basquiat began drawing and painting at the age of four and never
stopped. By the time he was in his teens, his graffiti was a fixture around
lower Manhattan. After leaving home at 17, Basquiat began selling hand-painted
postcards and T-shirts. At 20, he landed his first public exhibition. A pioneer
of the neo-expressionist movement, he quickly rose to fame on the '80s art
scene in NYC, where he ran with the likes of Andy Warhol, David Bowie and
Debbie Harry. His iconic work is still exhibited all over the world"
