Haring began his career on the streets and subway stations of New York, where he created his characteristic, dancing figures and luminous forms with chalk on advertising boards. These works, often addressing social and political themes such as AIDS, apartheid, and drug abuse, made him a central figure in the art scene of his time. Haring’s style, defined by bold, thick lines and recurring motifs like the "Radiant Baby" and the dancing figures, shows clear parallels to the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat, another prominent New York street-art figure. Both artists used the streets as their canvas and brought their art to the public in a way that diverged radically from the traditional gallery and museum world. Haring’s bright, accessible visual language also evokes the Pop Art movement, particularly the works of Andy Warhol, with whom Haring was closely connected. 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 play a central role in his works. This affinity for comic culture links him with artists like Roy Lichtenstein, who also drew on comics as a source of artistic inspiration, albeit in an ironic and distanced manner. Haring, however, brought a direct, often activist message to his works, linking him to the political works of Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer. Both artists used text and image to comment on societal and political issues, much as Haring did in his posters and public art.
