Meaning & Analysis

Inspired by Andy Warhol, Haring engages with advertisement and commercial imagery to elevate products of mass consumerism to the realm of high art. Using the Absolut logo as the poster’s centrepiece, Haring juxtaposes pure imitation with his distinct artistic style so as to blur the line between high culture and consumer product imagery. As a design that is taken for granted on the supermarket shelf, Haring presents this consumer product as an object for observation in the art gallery context.

Through his use of rich, block colours and bold outlines, Haring transforms the subject of consumerism into an iconic piece of fine art from the 1980s. In using his clearly coded visual vocabulary in the poster, including the iconic image of a crowd of figures that has come to represent a mob easily led astray by false dictators, Haring makes a poignant comment on the effects of consumer culture on the masses.

  • Keith Haring was a luminary of the 1980s downtown New York scene. His distinctive visual language pioneered one-line Pop Art drawings and he has been famed for his colourful, playful imagery. Haring's iconic energetic motifs and figures were dedicated to influencing social change, and particularly challenging stigma around the AIDS epidemic. Haring also pushed for the accessibility of art by opening Pop Shops in New York and Japan, selling a range of ephemera starting from as little as 50 cents. Haring's legacy has been cemented in the art-activism scene and is a testament to power of art to inspire social change
