Design Keith Haring x The Skateroom
Whether for wall or streetside, this is art to mount. The latest release by The Skateroom – a social initiative empowering youth with art – is a set of boards paying homage to legendary American pop artist Keith Haring. A leading figure in the New York graffiti subculture of the 1980s, Haring’s universally recognised visual language – here featuring his famous monster motif – is a fittingly energetic adornment for these decks. This limited-edition set is made from responsibly source wood, and harks back perfectly to Haring’s artistic vision: ‘Art should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. By taking it off the pedestal, I’m giving it back to the people.’
