Keith Haring


The work of Keith Haring has always interested me. His use of bold lines and active figures often carry poignant messages of vitality and unity. Throughout his career, Haring devoted much of his time to public works, which often carried social messages. He produced more than 50 public artworks between 1982 and 1989, in dozens of cities around the world, many of which were created for charities, hospitals, children’s day care centers and orphanages. The simplicity of his 2-dimensional drawings somehow convey real movement and emotion.
It was the influences behind Haring's work, along with his bold style that played a major part in another of my A level projects where I chose to produce ideas for a campaign promoting launch of the anti-racism in football campaign, 'Stand Up Speak Up'. Below is an example of one of my ideas.
