“Pop Shop 1” is a figurative artwork created by the renowned artist Keith Haring in 1987. This piece falls under the Pop Art movement, characterized by its bold colors and vivid imagery, often drawing from popular culture and mass media.
The artwork prominently features three human-like figures rendered in vibrant solid colors: yellow, red, and green. The central figure in yellow is depicted with raised arms and an empty oval cut-out in its torso. The figure on the left, in red, extends an arm towards the yellow figure, with the hand reaching through the oval cut-out. Similarly, the green figure on the right also extends an arm towards the yellow figure. The background is a solid purple, and the entire composition is defined by thick black outlines, a signature style of Keith Haring. The dynamic lines around the figures suggest movement and interaction, encapsulating the essence of vibrancy and interconnectedness typical of Haring’s works.
