Original mixed media on canvas | Neo-expressionism – Pop Surrealism – Figurative Art

Boy, Cat and Black Ballerina is a vibrant and emotionally rich artwork by Wabyanko, directly inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat’s iconic piece Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump. In this reimagined scene, a young boy stands alongside a sharp-eyed cat and a poised Black ballerina in a flowing pink dress — all set within a dreamlike urban space bursting with symbolism.

🔥 Channeling the energy and aesthetic of Basquiat’s neo-expressionism, the painting uses raw brushstrokes, graffiti-inspired markings, and symbolic figures to explore identity, contrast, and emotional presence.
👣 The ballerina, both elegant and strong, embodies resilience and grace, while the boy and cat add layers of narrative and ambiguity — inviting the viewer into a story that feels both personal and universal.
🎨 Blending street art attitude, figurative storytelling, and poetic abstraction, this is a powerful one-off piece for collectors who appreciate emotion-driven, culturally resonant art.
