“I don’t think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.”
Keith Haring
Keith Haring was an influential American artist known for his unique and bold style. Born in Pennsylvania in 1958, he emerged as one of the prominent figures of the 1980s New York City art scene. Haring was deeply inspired by street culture, graffiti, and pop art. His iconic imagery featuring bold lines, vivid colours, and instantly recognisable figures became his signature style. Through his public artworks, Haring aimed to make art accessible to everyone, often using his works to convey messages of social and political activism, including themes of love, unity, and AIDS awareness. Despite his untimely death in 1990, Keith Haring’s impact on the art world and popular culture continues to be celebrated and appreciated globally.
