The vector portrait is of Keith Haring, a graffiti artist of the ’80s, who used semiotics to express visual images to the people.
Keith Haring is transformed into a short animation of Haring’s life story from the beginning to the end of his life. The love of taking Polaroid pictures and listening to upbeat music on his boombox while painting his temporary work to become permanent. The animation is portrayed in a dark mood due to the loss of an artist so young.
“Even though you’re not painting to the rhythm necessarily, or painting to the beat of the music. It is still keeping a sort of steady level of concentration, or maybe it is a level of the un-concentrated state. You have enough room to not think about what you’re doing. . .It just happens automatically.”
