Triple Eyes by Keith Haring is a striking example of the artist's instantly recognisable style, combining vivid energy with layered symbolism. Part of his Icon series from 1990, the work shows a playful face with three eyes and a wide, expressive smile, capturing attention at once. Its bold lines and bright colours reflect Haring's ability to pair a direct visual language with deeper meaning, opening the door to ideas around identity, perception and social commentary.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Triple Eyes is the use of the third eye as a symbol of expanded perception or an all-seeing perspective. Although Haring never referred directly to spiritual traditions, the idea has strong roots in Hinduism and Buddhism, where it is associated with wisdom and intuition. That reading gives the work an additional layer, making its playful surface feel even more thoughtful and open to interpretation.
With its memorable design, Triple Eyes stands out as an iconic work of pop art that bridges the energy of urban art with contemporary fine art. It is a strong example of how Haring turned simple forms into images that feel immediate, culturally charged and easy to connect with.

Each sign is made of neon flex material, consisting of PVC or silicon piping with LED lights, mounted on a recycled acrylic board. These materials make it possible to create realistic neon signs with bright light and intense colour, while being more durable, affordable and sustainable than traditional neon.
Sustainability is taken seriously thanks to the LED lights, which consume 6 times less energy than traditional lights and last up to 100,000 hours. These neon signs are crafted using recycled materials and 100% recycled packaging, including the removal of unnecessary plastic.
