Keith Haring was born in Pennsylvania in 1958, developing a love for drawing at a very young age which was heavily influenced by the cartoons of Walt Disney and Dr. Seuss. Haring moved to New York in 1978, where he attended the School of Visual Arts and was introduced to a burgeoning alternative art scene on the streets, subways and clubs. Haring began to produce ‘subway drawings’ on empty advertising panels in the 1980s, and their proliferation soon made New York commuters familiar with his designs. Almost like modern day hieroglyphics, Haring's work speaks volumes with only a few brush strokes. His friend Kenny Scharf said: "He was so much fun – I think people forget that. He used to paint one stroke at a time to the rhythm of whatever he was listening to." One of the first artists to cross the boundary between street art and graffiti within the more established world of fine art and gallery representation, Haring’s work remains ground-breaking even today. Whilst his career was tragically cut short when the artist contracted AIDS in the late 1980s, Haring’s body of art is prodigious and continues to be marvelled at by millions worldwide. Haring’s works can be found today in prestigious collections including MOMA, the L.A. County Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Art Museum in Washington D.C. and the Art Institute of Chicago.
We love how almost like modern day hieroglyphics, Keith Haring's work speaks volumes with only a few brush strokes. The simplicity of his compositions are a testament to Haring's power as an artist. His ability to convey a meaningful message of hope and unity in so few strokes is admired and recreated to this day. One of the first artists to cross the boundary between street art and graffiti within the more established world of fine art and gallery representation, Haring’s work remains groundbreaking even today.
