ART
Richard Hambleton
NYC, in the late 1970′s and early 1980′s, was the canvas for a street artist named Richard Hambleton. Long before "graffiti" was considered as "art", long before graffiti art stars like Banksy came on the scene and long before organized art tours were created to see the graffiti of New York City, artist Richard Hambleton painted black figures, in bold brushstrokes, on many of the walls and back alleys of Manhattan.
The artist calls his life-sized paintings “Shadow Men”. One art researcher said, "His art was originally inspired by the shadows of victims vaporized in the atomic blast at Hiroshima, Japan, implying: in the end, all that is left of us are our shadows, or what we project onto this world."
Richard's start came as a part of a famous trio of artists who worked together and regularly gathered to discuss their latest street artworks - even collaborating at times. The other two artists in this fabled group were the legendary Keith Haring and Jean Michel Basquiat.
These works of street art are now long gone, but these three artists were the first to interest and engaged the art world in "Street Art" during the 1980s. Although Richard Hambleton has been given the unofficial title "Godfather of Street Artists", he is the "Shadow Man" of this collective. Now is the time to place Richard Hambleton's contribution and influence into the art world's bright spotlight!

Richard Hambleton (born June, 1954) is an artist-painter currently living and working in the Lower East Side of New York City. Richard Hambleton is the surviving member of a group who, together with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, had great success coming out of the New York City art scene during the booming art market of the 1980′s. Much of Hambleton’s work is compared to graffiti art, however, Hambleton considers his work to be “public art”.
