A large, vertically oriented Basquiat painting is displayed in a brightly lit gallery space at the Musée Cantini in Marseille, France. The mixed-media artwork, consistent with Jean-Michel Basquiat's style, features a prominent, stylized, dark brown head or skull figure with a wide-open mouth displaying red teeth and white outlines, set against a vibrant yellow and red background in the upper half of the canvas. The rest of the artwork is a complex collage of layered paper, scribbled text fragments, abstract drawings, and various paint applications, including areas of black brushstrokes, red slashes, green accents, and thick white impasto. Smaller skull-like faces and words such as "VENT" and "TERROR" are visible within the busy composition. The painting is housed in a simple, light-colored shadow-box frame. It hangs centered on a plain white wall, positioned above a polished light grey and white marble floor with natural veining patterns. No individuals are present within the frame of the image.
