Meaning & Analysis

A sense of pattern is created by Haring in this print through his use of angular lines and flattened picture plane. Growing 5 makes clear the way in which Haring’s work appeals to both children and adults alike, using a limited colour palette of four vivid colours – red, blue, yellow and green – and simplified shapes that interlock with one another. Haring’s figures in this print are conjoined and flow into one another so as to emphasise a sense of community and the power of working together.

Haring’s use of symmetry along a vertical central axis and abundance of form marks a clear affinity with Australian Aboriginal and Aztec art. Across the image Haring uses concentric circles, curving, organic lines, figures and zig zags, to create an abstract pictorial system that moves and flows with the viewer’s eye. Indeed, Haring’s focus on pattern makes this work distinctly ‘primitive’, much like that of the European Modernists like Klee and Matisse.

  • 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
