Keith Haring
20 November 2009
Birth, death, love, sex and war. These are the main themes in Keith Haring’s work.
I have been a big fan of Keith Haring for many years, since I discovered him. I like the more colorful and stronger drawings. But each one of his pieces is incredibly powerful. Haring was able to condense into a very simple sketch a thousand words, an entire dissertation about an aspect of life.
His art is dramatic, exciting, sad, violent and disturbing. It punches you in the stomach all the time. You cannot escape its intensiy. All his characters have been captured a fraction of a second before doing something that is going to have devastating implications for the lives of millions. They are participating to life, making and transforming the world as we know it. Breaking down all barriers, freeing us from conventions and ignorance. Embarrassing us, naked, in front of others and ourselves.
Be alive, sin, understand and be reborn, that is his message to me.

Being born under this sign determines many talents, as well as other characteristics that may not be so commendable. Rats are very lively and need a lot of mental and physical stimulation. They can be calm and perceptive, but sometimes their brains can cause a mental restlessness, tempting them to take on too much, only to discover they are unable to meet their commitments. Rats are blessed with one of the best intellects going. Add to their intelligence a curiosity and a bright imagination, and they seem as sharp as a needle.
