Meaning & Analysis

The Blueprint Drawings 3 shows an otherworldly sequence of images with a UFO in the first frame, followed by images of genderless figures running away and jumping into a hole in the ground. In Haring’s work the UFO has come to symbolise the presence of unknown forces and an extra-terrestrial future. In particular the UFO represents otherness and those who lie outside of social norms, notably those who live with HIV/AIDS and face the stigma attached to the virus.

Reminiscent of Haring’s subway drawings from the early 1980s that only appeared as related sequences when viewers passed them on their way through the corridors. In The Blueprint Drawings series the artist was able to bring together individual scenes on a single print to create an entire storyline. In doing this, Haring could begin to communicate more complex ideas through the use of his graphic symbols.

  • 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
