Haring began his career on the streets and subway stations of New York, where he created his characteristic, dancing figures and radiant forms with chalk on billboards. These works, often addressing social and political themes such as AIDS, apartheid, and drug abuse, made him a central figure in the art world of his time. Haring's style, characterized by bold, thick lines and recurring motifs like the "Radiant Baby" and the dancing figures, shows clear parallels to the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, another major figure of the New York street-art scene. Both artists used the streets as their canvas, bringing their art into the public sphere in a way that differed radically from the traditional gallery and museum world. Haring's colorful, accessible visual language also recalls the Pop Art movement, particularly the works of Andy Warhol, with whom Haring was close friends. Like Warhol, Haring used simple, recognizable symbols to convey complex topics and appeal to a broad audience. Another influence on Haring was the graphic and linear quality of comics, which plays a central role in his works. This affinity with comic culture connects him with artists like Roy Lichtenstein, who also drew on comics as an artistic source of inspiration, albeit in an ironic and distant way. Haring, however, brought a direct, often activist message to his works, linking him with the political works of Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer. Both artists used text and image to comment on social and political issues, much as Haring did in his posters and public artworks.
