Meaning & Analysis

Bayer Suite 6 shows an image of a running figure with three legs and its arms in the air, depicted in Haring’s graphic linear style. Instantly recognisable as Haring, the print is made up of bold, thick lines and simplistic shapes in a way that communicates a sense of joy and energy to the viewer. Haring injects a sense of comedy to the print by showing the figure with three legs, resembling classic cartoon animations of characters running at a fast pace.

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 simplistic form and positive visual language of Bayer Suite 6 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
