American Urbanite - Tribex by Ron Haywood Jones

This is an original contemporary painting titled 'American Urbanite' by artist Ron Haywood Jones, created in 2016. The artwork features a high-contrast, black-and-white aesthetic executed in a style heavily influenced by Neo-Expressionism and street art, reminiscent of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The composition consists of white graffiti-style line work on a solid black background. It depicts two large, stylized skeletal or robotic figures flanking a central circular emblem containing further complex iconography. The text 'AMERICAN URBANITE' is prominently featured at the top, with 'TRIBEX' appearing in the lower center and integrated into the central graphic. The work is signed by the artist. Physically, the piece appears to be acrylic or paint pen on a square flat substrate, likely canvas or board. The lines are bold and deliberate, showing varying degrees of hand-drawn thickness that suggest a raw, energetic application. The condition appears excellent with crisp lines and no visible fading, cracking, or surface abrasions. The iconography blends tribal motifs with industrial/technological symbols (labeled 'AFRO TEC'). This indicates a thematic focus on the intersection of African heritage, urban identity, and modern technology.
