◉ 2019 Asia Illustration Fair：Open Call Countdown 27 Days! An Illustrator a day：Keith Haring 2019 亞洲插畫藝術節 徵件倒數27天！ 一天一插畫家介紹：Keith Haring
文章整理｜游恩瑜
Born on May 4, 1985 in Pennsylvania, Keith Haring is best known for his contributions to the New York City art scene in the 1980s. He started painting at his early ages. After he had his first personal exhibition, he started to perform his artwork on street, subways and old dance club. His graffiti-inspired artwork depicted simplified people, dogs, babies, hearts, and flying saucers. He often painted bold lines and bright colors to convey feelings of movement and radiance.
出生在賓州的美國藝術家Keith Haring，他在非常年幼時就開始創作，在他19歲時第一次舉辦個展後就進入了他的創作巔峰時期，無論在街頭、地鐵還有舊舞廳都能夠看到他的作品。他畫作中描繪著各種人、狗、嬰兒和飛碟等，粗線條和鮮豔的顏色也展現了畫作中的動態感和光的效果。
Beginning in his early twenties, Keith Haring used chalk to draw art in New York’s subways. The walls of the subway stations had panels—empty spaces for advertising—posted with black paper that Haring drew on with white chalk. His subway drawings were simple, and he did dozens of drawings per day in front of people who would watch him and ask him what the drawings meant.
在他二十幾歲之初，他經常用粉筆在地鐵的廣告看板上作畫，在黑色的看板上簡單的運用白色線條表達自我，一天之中他就能夠在地鐵站創作數幅作品，他樂於在公共場所創作，能夠實際與觀眾互動，並且向觀眾解釋他的作品。
All the free and bold lines and bright colors he drew, implied not only strong emotions, such as happiness, hope, sadness and fear, but also his opinion on love, death, freedom, new born and wars.
Haring 習慣用簡單明確的粗線條，勾勒出自由奔放的人形，中空的輪廓外觀，包裹著強烈的情緒，快樂、希望、憂傷、恐懼，除此之外，在這些畫作之中，更是滿溢著凱斯哈林對於愛、死亡、自由、新生、戰爭的理解與想法。
In 1986, Haring opened the Pop Shop, a retail store in Soho (New York), to sell merchandise. The store offered shirts, posters, magnets, and buttons with his artwork on them. Aiming to make his art accessible to a larger audience, Haring opened another Pop Shop in Tokyo in 1987.
“My work was starting to become more expensive and more popular within the art market,” Haring said. “Those prices meant that only people who could afford big art prices could have access to my work, The Pop Shop makes it accessible.”
在1986年Haring在紐約蘇活區開了一間 Pop Shop，在店中販售一些印有他作品的T-shirts、明信片和磁鐵，目的是希望更多大眾能夠擁有他的作品，也因此，他在1987年在東京又開了另一間Pop Shop。
Haring曾經說過：「我的作品在藝術市場中變得越來越知名且昂貴，而這個狀況使得只有那些能夠負擔得起高價格的人才能取得我的作品，開設Pop Shop的目的使得我的作品大眾化，是唾手可得的。」
Even Haring has gone, his legacy stays. In the words of his friend William S. Burroughs, “Just as no one can look at a sunflower without thinking of Van Gogh, so no one can be in the New York subway system without thinking of Keith Haring. And that’s the truth.” His art will live on forever.
儘管Haring已經離開人世，但是他的傳奇將會持續留存在我們心中，就像他的朋友William S. Burroughs曾說：「沒有人看到太陽花不想到梵谷，就像沒有人在紐約地鐵中不想到Keith Haring。」他的藝術創作將會永遠流傳於
