Pop Shop V 1989

Keith Haring's "Pop Shop V" from 1989 exemplifies the artist's iconic style, characterized by bold black outlines and vibrant colors. The artwork features a simplified human figure, reminiscent of Haring's signature "radiant baby," soaring through the air with outstretched arms, evoking a sense of freedom and joy. The figure is depicted against a bright orange background, further enhancing the playful and energetic atmosphere. Two pink dolphins, their eyes wide with wonder, gaze upwards, suggesting an interaction between the human and the animal kingdom. This piece, created during the final year of Haring's life, demonstrates his enduring fascination with the human form and its potential for connection.
