Keith Haring, Flying Devil, from the Icons Suite, 1990 is a striking example of the artist’s bold, symbolic imagery and his ability to transform simple line drawings into powerful cultural icons. Created during the final year of his life, this work belongs to Haring’s celebrated Icons Suite, a portfolio of images that distills his most recognizable motifs into a series of graphic masterpieces. The Flying Devil is rendered with Haring’s signature clarity—thick black contours, vibrant color, and a sense of urgent movement that pulses with energy. At once playful and menacing, the devil figure represents both chaos and temptation, serving as a metaphor for the moral and social challenges that defined the late 20th century.

The Icons Suite is among Haring’s most sought-after print series, with each image embodying the artist’s extraordinary gift for visual storytelling. In Flying Devil, Haring merges humor with social commentary, transforming a traditional symbol of evil into a vibrant, almost cartoon-like figure that nonetheless carries weighty significance. Its bold design makes it instantly recognizable, while its conceptual depth reflects Haring’s engagement with themes of mortality, desire, and the human condition—issues particularly resonant in the year leading up to his untimely passing.

Today, Keith Haring, Flying Devil, from the Icons Suite, 1990 is celebrated not only for its striking aesthetic but also for its place within one of Haring’s most important bodies of work. Both collectors and admirers prize it as a museum-worthy example of his unique ability to merge street culture, Pop art, and timeless symbolism into imagery that continues to speak across generations.
