Keith Haring Revival Meets £395 Collecting As TBOY Arrives At Helm

As the art world continues to revisit Keith Haring’s influence on street art, pop culture and accessible visual language, Helm Gallery is bringing that conversation to Brighton this weekend with the arrival of TBOY.

Following Helm Gallery’s recent relaunch, the newly reopened basement collection space is now home to the exclusive TBOY x HELM collection, a limited-edition series reimagining iconic record covers through a style influenced by the phenomenal New York street artist Keith Haring.

 Recent institutional interest in Haring has renewed focus on the way his work blurred the line between galleries, streets, music culture and mass visual language, making him one of the most recognisable artists of the late 20th century. TBOY’s collection picks up that same cultural energy, using album cover references, bold graphic composition and collectable editions to create works that feel immediately recognisable, but still gallery-worthy.

While TBOY has produced similar works before, these are exclusive colourways created for Helm collectors, with low edition runs of just 25 per design. Helm will also be the only place where collectors can acquire the 1 of 1 artist proofs.

Each work is produced as a high-quality giclée print on metallic Hahnemühle rag paper, professionally framed and available at an all-in price of £395. Measuring 43.5cm square, the pieces are designed for smaller wall spaces, while also working well as pairs or grouped collections.

The collection lands as part of Helm’s wider relaunch, with the basement reimagined as a dedicated collection space showcasing a mix of emerging, established and blue-chip artists, including TBOY, Sir Peter Blake, Damien Hirst, POSE, Dan Pearce and Linda Charles.

Rather than presenting contemporary art as something distant or overly formal, Helm is positioning its Brighton gallery as a more open, energetic space for people who want to start collecting, discover limited editions or engage with culturally recognisable work in a more welcoming setting.
