Influenced by the 1980’s street scene, Keith Haring’s artwork started on the walls of the New York city subways and leapt around the world, spreading the message that ‘art is for everyone’. Not only did his work inspire individuals but became a powerful voice for several issues of the times including the AIDS crisis and Apartheid. Haring’s work questioned authority with symbolic illustrations in a vibrant and inviting way.
