Keith Haring x Obey Collaboration Preview, by Sacked... on Jul 23, 2012 20:17:10 GMT 1, From Vandalog :
Since I heard about the Keith Haring x OBEY collaboration, I have been waiting to see the end result. Thankfully, this Autumn I wonft be sporting OBEYfs usual flat cap but an array of worn in tees and hoodies emblazoned with some of Haringfs most iconic images. The line will even boast a leather varsity jacket and a parka style that resembles the coat that Haring used to wear while painting in the 80Œs.
For Shepard Fairey, this partnership between OBEY and the Keith haring Foundation is his way of paying homage to an artist, businessman and ground breaking street artist. The line blatantly points out the likeness between the artists in their subject matters and foray into commercial projects, allowing the mainstream to own their artwork in another form than just paintings. Most importantly, however, is that OBEY is bringing Haringfs art work to a new audience just over 20 years since his passing. This is what Shepard had to say about the collection and inspiration behind it:
"Though Keith Haring died only two years after I started making street art, his art and practice had already made a profound impact on me. At art college and on the streets of NYC in the late 80fs and early 90fs, Keithfs radiant baby and other images could be seen on the tees of all the flyest hipsters. Keith Haring was a prolific artist with a distinct style of drawing and painting that was simultaneously refined, but primitive, deliberate but lyrical and energetic. Haring believed gthe public has a right to arth and this philosophy informed his populist approach to spreading his art and messages. He pursued his art with a deeply personal vision, but also as a champion of social justice and a belief in the interconnectedness of humanity. Haring demonstrated the power of art on the streets, but he also put his art on t-shirts and record covers. He even opened a retail space in NYC called The Pop Shop. Eventually Haringfs artwork became widely respected, displayed, and sold as gfine arth. Haring rose from the 80fs NYC graffiti scene to not only affect the art world, but to dramatically impact pop culture. Inspired by Keith Haringfs achievements, I pursued my art career with the optimism that my goals could be attained.".
