Homage to Keith Haring - "What Would Keith Do" #1 Original Acrylic 48"x 48"
Keith Haring stands as one of my all-time favorite artists, a beacon of creativity whose potent messages resonate with minimal embellishment. As a prolific queer artist flourishing in the vibrant tapestry of the 80s and early 90s, his heart adorned with dancing stick figures remains an emblematic icon. In my endeavor, I sought to capture the essence of his artistry while infusing it with my own spirit. The added eye symbolizes the awakened heart, a delicate enhancement that breathes deeper meaning into the narrative. When the mind and heart unite, one gazes upon the world through a transformative lens. During an era fraught with challenges for the LGBTQ+ community, Keith was a passionate advocate for rights and visibility. I dedicate his piece as a heartfelt homage to an extraordinary artist whose influence continues to inspire and move me to this very day. - Christopher Box What Would Keith Do #1 48" x 48" Hand stretched canvas Acrylic and Gold Leaf
