Some much can be said through line and symbol...changing direction and creating patterns that demarcate areas in a space...the figure in the forefront with its densely populated circles...visually pushing the image forward through activity...all areas connected by thick dark marks...the open white figure on the left creates a visual rest stop in this Keith Haring piece...The angularity of the figures and their pose suggest an aggressor and a submissive...what does the "X" mean on each testicle? And how what is their relationship? The figure on the left is expelling varied organic lines, black flames out at the surrendering white figure...the horizon is cut low and also uses dots to describe the space...the wall or background utilizes long horizontal lines to exhibit space, but these marks also provide an active space to energize the overall composition...balanced activity, positive and negative spaces...
