Keith Haring in Paris: A double exhibition for the master of street art
Eleven years after a major retrospective at the Musée d’Art Moderne, Keith Haring’s iconic work returns to Paris in two captivating exhibitions. Entitled Techno-Primitive Iconography, this double exhibition plunges us into the teeming universe of the New York artist.
Keith Haring, pioneer of street art
Keith Haring, a prolific artist of the 1980s, is renowned for transforming urban space into a veritable canvas for expression. Inspired by the alternative culture of New York’s East Village, he used walls, sidewalks and even billboards to express his art. With his iconic characters, fluid lines and boundless energy, Haring became a symbol of democratic art accessible to all.
In this double exhibition in Paris, organized by Galerie Enrico Navarra and the Keith Haring Foundation, over 70 original works are unveiled. They range from mural frescoes to everyday objects such as a painted car hood, testifying to the artist’s ability to transform any medium into art.
Techno-Primitive Iconography: between tradition and modernity
The exhibition focuses on exploring Keith Haring’s artistic philosophy. In his work, he blends elements of primitive iconography with futuristic thinking. Fascinated by universal symbols and ancestral motifs, Haring establishes a dialogue between past and future. In this exhibition, the fusion between primitive art and contemporary culture is particularly highlighted.
The Gradiva gallery, located in the heart of Paris, offers an ideal setting for this artistic journey. The works, presented in the form of an itinerary, provide an insight into the artist’s approach: a constant quest for universality and human connection.
Keith Haring and his timeless thinking
Keith Haring never stopped exploring the limits of his art. Thirty years after his death, his creations remain strikingly relevant, tackling themes such as love, technology and social inequality. This return to Paris is a unique opportunity to rediscover his work in a new light, celebrating both the artist’s creative urgency and philosophical depth.
