Keith Haring (1958-1990) was a groundbreaking artist whose vibrant, graffiti-inspired style brought sexuality, social activism, and queer culture into the public eye. Emerging from New York City’s street art scene, his bold line drawings, featuring dancing figures and intertwining bodies, celebrated joy, freedom, and eroticism. As an openly gay artist during the AIDS crisis, Haring used his work to advocate for awareness, compassion, and social change, transforming art into a form of protest. His legacy continues to inspire movements challenging body shame and embracing diverse expressions of sexuality, reminding us that art can be a powerful act of liberation.
