The artwork titled “Shadowman (Paramour)” by Richard Hambleton, created in 1982, falls within the art movement of street art and specifically belongs to the genre of graffiti.
The artwork features two shadowy figures, seemingly climbing or hanging on a brick wall beneath a small window. The outlines of the figures are depicted in dark tones, reminiscent of shadow silhouettes, which is a hallmark of Hambleton’s style. The surrounding wall includes various graffiti tags and markings, with prominent text such as “PARAMOUR” and “LOVE” written in large letters, enhancing the raw and urban essence of the work. The piece captures the haunting and enigmatic quality typical of Hambleton’s street art, blending the stark human forms with the gritty cityscape.
