The Lovers
Giclee on Canvas 150x100cm

This is the artist’s interpretation of ’The Lovers’ drawn in patterns derived from, the master of the expressive language of colour and drawing, and a leading figure in modern art, Henri Matisse.
The artist pays homage to the masters who have shaped art for humanity.

Keith Haring - “The boy who just kept drawing"
Giclee on Canvas 100x150cm

When once asked to state the values he was trying to impart in his work, Keith replied:
“A more holistic and basic idea of wanting to incorporate art into every part of life, less as an egotistical exercise and more natural somehow. Taking it off the pedestal. I’m giving it back to the people, I guess.”
