World renowned artist Keith Haring unbelievably began his career in the subways of New York city  with little more than a handful of chalk.  His whimsical yet primitive outlined characters brought a sense of being alive to those who came across his work.

 

His work evokes a feeling of one-ness.  With crossbred species and intertiwining figures, Haring is almost asking the viewer to accept any type of lifestyle.  His bright colors mixed with the simple outlined form create more than your typical cartoon.  The strongest elements of line and color change the mood from picture to picture.

A poet, graffiti artist, drawer, sculptor, comedian, painter, collagist, and more, Haring undoubtedly amazed his audience with his work, regardless of the medium he used.  Upon his death in 1990 of AIDS, Haring entered the art books as being one of the first respected gallery artisits to use light to paint, sketch, and doodle and to use light waves on the screen, constructing Virtual worlds.
