The main element of Untitled (fishing) is black with incorporated thorn-like elements on its head. The form work of fishing appears to be a skeleton that has white markings which seem to be a representation of a structure of a human body.

Additionally, the skeleton on “fishing” is presented as holding a fish in its hand with the aid of a string which could be assumed to be a fish line. The fish is painted black and blue.

Further analysis of the background shows that there is a mix of colours which include shades of pink and yellow. The artist has used the painting of “fishing” to showcase his expertise and skill to blend colors to produce a magnificent piece of art.

The focus on creating “fishing” among other artworks in a studio exposed Jean-Michel Basquiat to critiques and collectors.
