+ OVERVIEW
His two works, Untitled , feature a pair of his signature symbols. Inspired by dancing, Haring created the image of “dancing figures,” one of the most representative symbols in his works. This image is actually derived from his previous “baby” motif, of which the “Radiant Baby” is seen as a seminal character, an iconic symbol and a significant inspiration for his later creations. His works often consist of intricate, maze-like patterns with the use of bold lines, single colors, and abstract hollow images of humans or animals against a pure white background.
