Keith Haring

Keith Haring was an American artist and social activist known for his vibrant, cartoon-like drawings and public murals. Emerging from New York's street art scene in the 1980s, Haring used bold lines, bright colors, and recurring motifs like radiant babies, barking dogs, and dancing figures to convey messages of unity, love, and activism. His work often addressed political and social issues, such as AIDS awareness, apartheid, and LGBTQ+ rights. Haring’s accessible style and focus on public art made him a beloved figure, and his art remains influential in both contemporary art and pop culture today.
