Meaning & Analysis

Haring’s highly symbolic figures like the one shown in Bayer Suite 5 were fundamental to his work that conveyed a variety of important themes that concerned contemporary life in 1980s New York. Taking influence from the Pop Art movement and artists like Andy Warhol, Haring utilised thick black lines and a flattened picture plane to make his art accessible and engage with diverse audiences.

The Bayer Suite series engages with themes of movement and the heart to form a celebratory sequence of works that relate to Bayer’s newly released heart medication. The simplistic form and positive visual language of Bayer Suite 5 recalls the artist’s early subway drawings, where he spent his days drawing in white chalk on the empty advertising panels of the New York subway system.

  • Keith Haring was a luminary of the 1980s downtown New York scene. His distinctive visual language pioneered one-line Pop Art drawings and he has been famed for his colourful, playful imagery. Haring's iconic energetic motifs and figures were dedicated to influencing social change, and particularly challenging stigma around the AIDS epidemic. Haring also pushed for the accessibility of art by opening Pop Shops in New York and Japan, selling a range of ephemera starting from as little as 50 cents. Haring's legacy has been cemented in the art-activism scene and is a testament to power of art to inspire social change
