Richard Hambleton

Shadow Man

1983

Richard Hambleton's *Shadow Man* is a striking work executed in acrylic, tinted metallic acrylic, and tape on paper, showcasing the artist's signature visceral and gestural style. The looming, darkened figure emerges with raw intensity, its jagged silhouette evoking a sense of unease and urban menace reminiscent of Hambleton's iconic street interventions. The incorporation of metallic acrylic lends the shadowy form an eerie, shimmering quality that contrasts with the work's otherwise raw and aggressive energy.
