  Keith Haring
Haring's physicalized language and his environmental and material poetry brought forth a network of interweaving signs that could act on the nervous system of a city such as New York, profoundly challenging the encoded and elitist system of art.
Haring applies the same concentrative power to his flows of lines and images: with the exuberance of signs, they move from point to point, producing a "flux of visual awareness," which is inscribed in some other flux, such as the New York City subway, or in some other line, such as the Berlin Wall.
Haring uses sex as the ultimate metaphor of a flow or transmission between demon and human, beauty and ugliness, nature and artifice.

 The Mural of Keith Haring
Keith Haring (1958-1990) was a young American artist who, starting off with "Subway Drawings", became famous all over the world.
Haring wanted to get back in touch with a primitive phase of language where the graphic symbol merges with the verbal one, a sort of sequence of ideograms: "My drawings don't try to imitate life, they try to create life...that's a much more so-called primitive idea...
Choosing subtle colours, toning down the violent colours which had always been characteristic of his work, Haring takes his inspiration from the colours of the buildings in Pisa and of the town generally, to create a work which would be in harmony with its social and environmental setting.
