Meaning & Analysis

There is a white figure and a dotted figure in the first two frames, with the dotted figure’s stomach is cut open and then penetrated by the other figure’s head. In the final frame the dotted figure grabs the stick he was cut open with and seven of Haring’s barking dog motifs appear to jump through the figure’s stomach, one by one.

Haring’s image of the figure with a hole in the stomach has come to symbolise the emptiness within us, notably in relation to the community of people so affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Haring uses dots in this print to convey the otherness of homosexuality and illness, specifically AIDS, however by showing the dotted figure in the final frame reclaiming the weapon he was opened up by, Haring shows the figures as powerful and offers the viewer a sense of hope.

  • 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
