Keith Haring is hands down one of the most influential artists of the 1980s. Born in Pennsylvania and later moving to New York City, Haring was inspired by the energy of street culture, particularly the emerging graffiti movement. His art, defined by its simple lines and bright, bold colours, quickly became iconic, with recurring motifs like dancing figures, radiant babies, and barking dogs that carried deep social messages.
Haring’s rise to fame began in the subways of New York, where he would create his iconic chalk drawings on empty advertising spaces that captivated passersby. His early public art made him a fixture of the city’s vibrant underground art scene, alongside peers like Jean-Michel Basquiat. Despite being known as a leading street artist, Haring’s work reached galleries, museums, and public spaces around the world. Despite his commercial success, he remained dedicated to making art accessible to everyone.
In 1986, he opened the Pop Shop, where he sold affordable prints and merchandise featuring his designs, believing that art should be available to the masses. His passion for social justice also led to the creation of public murals in places like hospitals and schools, where his art could inspire hope and activism.
Haring tragically died in 1990 at the age of 31, due to AIDS-related complications. Over 3 decades later, his legacy lives on, both through his vibrant artwork and the Keith Haring Foundation, which continues his mission of supporting AIDS research, education, and children’s programs.
