Meaning & Analysis

Haring was concerned with the idea of the democratisation of art and uses his positive visual language as a form of activism to raise awareness around important socio-political issues of the 1980s. The depiction of conjoined figures in the Growing series evokes a sense of community and the power of working together in a capitalist society where the idea of the individual is prioritised over society as a whole.

Growing 1 shows multiple figures stemming from the single individual to represent the way in which Haring sees a collaborative society that is freed from the constraining categories and divisions between gender, class, race and sexuality. Haring’s use of strong lines provides the print with movement as though the figures are dancing. The dancing figures clearly convey a sense of joy and community in a way that reflected the artist’s love of hip hop emerging in New York City in the 1980s.

  • 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
