Keith Haring: Pop Shop

The Pop Shop were stores that sold voluminous memorabilia of artist Keith Haring's designs. Haring originally opened two Pop Shops; one in SoHo (which closed in 2005) and one in Tokyo (which closed in 1988). Every area of the store was devoted to Haring's work including floor-to-ceiling murals, which provided a clubhouse atmosphere. I like Haring's use of colour, only uses 3/4 colours at one time all complimenting each other. Also looking at his bold murals inspired me me to try some larger scale more expressive pieces.
