Keith Haring VS Jesse Irving

Pallas Mail • February 2025
 

I have loved Keith Haring's art work since I was 10 years old. 

Keith Haring's bold, pop-infused street art continues to influence fashion, activism, and public space. His work remains a symbol on inclusivity, raising awareness for AIDS, LGBTQ+ rights and social justice. From murals to high-fashion, his legacy bridges fine art & street culture. 

In the Spring of 2020 I crossed paths with Jesse Irving through a mutual friend and knew instantly that he had the look and charisma to lend to a Keith Haring homage of our own. We created murals and doodles, rebuilt the room he painted with Annie Leibovitz and got up to some mischief. 

Hella fun creative idea to put into motion. Still brings a smile going back through and revisiting this tomfoolery. 

40 years later and I am still loving Keith's work and legacy.
