Keith Haring — Totem
Keith Haring

Totem

A bold and energetic totem pole-like sculpture by Keith Haring, featuring his iconic hand-drawn figures and symbols carved into stacked layers of plywood and brought to life with vibrant enamel colors. The work embodies Haring's signature visual language of interlocking human forms, animals, and abstract shapes, pulsing with movement and rhythm. Rooted in street art and Pop culture, this three-dimensional piece extends Haring's democratic artistic vision into sculptural form, celebrating life, unity, and connection.
