Catalogue Note
When I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality. When it is working, you completely go to another place, you're tapping into things that are totally universal, of the total consciousness, completely beyond your ego and your own self.
Keith Haring (Rolling Stone interview, 1989)
