Keith Haring — Untitled
Keith Haring

Untitled

1988

This gouache, Sumi ink, and printed paper collage depicts a stylized figure emerging from or resting upon undulating terrain. The composition features a simplified human form rendered in light tones, positioned atop a landscape of flowing, organic lines that suggest sand dunes or rolling hills. Above the figure, radiating lines form a halo or burst pattern, evoking spiritual energy or transcendence. The work demonstrates characteristic gestural mark making and explores themes of movement, spirituality, and the relationship between figure and landscape.
