Untitled, 1983

Tempera on paper

39 3/8 x 27 1/2 in 100 x 69.8 cm

This vibrant 1983 work showcases Haring's iconic visual vocabulary at a pivotal moment in his career. Executed in tempera on paper, the composition features his signature bold black lines and animated figures against a dynamic background. The medium allows for both spontaneity and precision, capturing the raw energy that defined Haring's street art origins while demonstrating his technical prowess in studio practice. The substantial scale commands attention, with Haring's characteristic barking dogs, radiant babies, or dancing figures arranged in a rhythmic composition that pulses with kinetic energy. Created during Haring's breakthrough period in early 1980s New York, this piece exemplifies the artist's ability to merge high art with popular culture. Works on paper from this era are particularly significant, representing Haring's transition from subway drawings to gallery exhibitions while maintaining his democratic artistic vision. The tempera medium adds historical weight, connecting his practice to traditional techniques while his content remained defiantly contemporary and accessible.
