Meaning & Analysis

Ludo 5 is reminiscent of Haring’s Apocalypse series from 1988 in its hellish subject matter that evokes a sense of chaos and violence. Throughout the Ludo series, Haring maintains a dominance of the colour red, depicting eyes, limbs, and other body parts in abstracted forms. Energy lines emanate from the reaching hand and create ripples in the water, creating a sense of movement and dynamism that Haring is so well known for.

There is a sense of anxiety running through each print that differs from much of his earlier work, alluding to a turning point in Haring’s life. As the AIDS epidemic overwhelmed his community in the mid-1980s, Haring’s work began to reflect the difficulties he was facing in his personal life. Throughout his oeuvre, Haring maintained a simplicity in line and form that appealed to children and adults alike, despite his sometimes more complex subject matter, like that of the Ludo series.

  • 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
