Untitled (1989)

Acrylic on canvas.

Private collection.

The work, which the artist completed shortly before his death, is distinguished by the harmony of flowing lines and the symmetrical construction of the composition. In this work, the influence of the symbols of the ancient world is noticeable – such as the eastern mandala or the art of Australian aborigines. Along with this, the composition contains elements of modern graffiti, which are a characteristic feature of Keith Haring’s style. The artist used mainly red colours in this work; however, this shade is more muted, in contrast to the earlier paintings by Keith Haring.
