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.

With his bold lines, bright colours and extraordinary mix of mediums, it’s no surprise that Keith Haring is instantly recognisable in the modern art world. Born in Pennsylvania, he trained in New York and first emerged on the East Village art scene in the 1980s. Many of Haring’s most famous creations combine contemporary art practices with street-savvy graffiti, ultimately creating a brand-new aesthetic that’s highly skilled yet accessible to all. Although he sadly died young at the age of 31, he’s left a lasting legacy. Let’s take a closer look at Keith Haring’s short yet incredibly successful career. Breaking into ...

What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
