Neo-Expressionist Mixed Media Portrait on Panel

This is a vertical rectangular artwork rendered in a bold Neo-Expressionist style, reminiscent of street art and the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The composition features a central, bisected cubist-style face with one side painted in shades of blue and pink/orange, and the other in vibrant yellow and gold. The background is a stark, vibrant red at the top, transitioning into a green and teal lower register. Notable markings include the text 'NEPTUNE' written vertically in red, and the numbers '25' and '27' placed in the lower and middle sections. Symbolic elements like a plus/minus sign in a teal circle, a hand with a central pupil, a checkered pattern, and a black-and-white dotted serpent-like shape add to its complexity. The medium appears to be acrylic or oil paint with marker or grease pencil outlines on a wooden panel or heavy composite board, indicated by visible horizontal seams or grain marks across the center. The condition appears fair to good; there are some visible scuffs and edge wear, particularly on the bottom right corner, suggesting it is an unframed, contemporary piece likely from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is expressive and raw, utilizing thick impasto-like applications and gestural linework that prioritizes emotional impact over traditional representational accuracy.
