A Defining Collaboration at the Venice Biennale 2026

Venice, Italy — From his studio to the global stage, we proudly announce that the celebrated artist Kozo will be debuting a special series of nine works inspired by Keith Haring’s legacy at this year’s Venice Biennale.

Presenting at the 2026 Venice Biennale, this new body of work introduces a rare dialogue between Kozo and the iconic visual language of Keith Haring. Familiar Haring motifs are reimagined through Kozo’s refined mixed media approach, where layering graphite, acrylic, lithography, and tattoo ink form richly dimensional compositions. Rather than reinterpretation alone, these works expand into immersive scenes where new depths are revealed with each viewing. Classical references and ancient symbolism are seamlessly interwoven with Haring’s unmistakable line-work, creating a juxtaposition between past and present. The result is a highly limited series of one-of-a-kind works that transform a globally recognized visual language into something entirely new, offering collectors a unique opportunity to acquire pieces that are both culturally resonant and distinctly contemporary.

This collection is now for sale exclusively with DTR Modern.
