The ‘Devil’ is one of five individual silkscreen prints in Haring’s Icon portfolio from 1990, each showcasing a signature motif of Haring’s work. Throughout his brief but influential career, Haring carefully crafted a unique visual language that he consistently used across various media.
The devil figure in "Icons" serves as a spiritual symbol of life and death. Although rendered in Haring’s characteristic cartoonish style, which might seem simplistic, it addresses complex issues such as Apartheid and AIDS. This playful aesthetic masks the deeper, serious themes explored in Haring’s work.
Devil highlights Haring’s unique visual style that would see the artist become a mainstay of private collectors, auction houses, galleries and museums worldwide.
