Richard Hamilton — Release
Richard Hamilton

Release

"Release" by Richard Hamilton is a vibrant screenprint in colours enhanced with silver foil collage, executed on Hodgkinson mould-made paper with full margins. A pioneering figure of British Pop Art, Hamilton masterfully combines commercial printing techniques with tactile collage elements, the reflective silver foil adding a luminous, almost cinematic quality to the composition. The work exemplifies Hamilton's enduring fascination with mass media imagery and the transformative potential of mixed printmaking processes.
