+ OVERVIEW
In his other painting, Haring uses an abundance of single lines and flat wash techniques to create a crisp, graphic image of a snake-shaped figure, delivering a cartoonish sense of fun. Haring was particularly adept at transitioning between abstract and figurative styles, often filling up his compositions with a variety of flat, two-dimensional, and textureless patterns. Moreover, Haring developed a singular visual language packed with rich symbolic emotions, using colors that were distinct from regular color sketches. The TV console in this painting manifests certain features of pop culture - fast-paced, replicable, popular, and inexpensive. Seemingly casually arranged, this painting is able to strike a chord with a vast number of viewers.
