In Pop Shop I, Haring’s signature matchstick figures join hands, dance, and embrace, each piece in the suite telling a small story of friendship and celebration. These narratives come together when the portfolio is viewed as a whole. Haring’s bold lines and vibrant block colours craft a visual style that effectively conveys his message of unity.
In this print, the lines vividly capture the energy of the figures as they wave and jump. Haring once said, "Your line is your personality," and his personality shines through in the bold use of colour and form.
Pop Shop Quad I highlights Haring’s unique visual style that would see the artist become a mainstay of private collectors, auction houses, galleries and museums worldwide.
