Keith Haring was more than an artist — he was a messenger of joy and social awareness. With bold lines, bright colors, and iconic symbols, his work connected with people everywhere. To celebrate our brand new collection, Keith Haring x Jimmy Lion, of socks and t-shirts featuring the artist’s ground-breaking work, we wanted to share some of the artist’s most inspiring thoughts on art, creativity, and life, reminding us of the power art has to unite and uplift.

"My contribution to the world is my ability to draw. I will draw as much as I can, for as many people as I can, for as long as I can."

"The best reason to paint is that there is no reason to paint… you don’t do it because you can justify it logically. You do it because it fills your life and makes you happy."

"Art is nothing if you don’t reach every segment of the people."

"The public has a right to art. The public is being ignored by most contemporary artists. Art is for everybody."

"I am intrigued with the shapes people choose as their symbols to create language. It’s like trying to read the language of shapes."

Living with Positivity

Keith Haring’s art shows that creativity is a powerful way to connect, inspire, and lift each other up. Each piece he created carried a message of joy, freedom, inclusivity and connection. We hope, with our Keith Haring x Jimmy Lion Collection, we can help make his inspiring art more accessible and wearable in your day-to-day.
