The artwork, entitled “Standing Shadow, 2002,” is a piece created by artist Richard Hambleton in the year 2002. It is executed in acrylic medium and belongs to the Conceptual Art and Street Art movements. The dimensions of the artwork are 189.9 by 56.5 centimeters.
The artwork presents a striking depiction of a human shadow character, rendered in black on a light-colored background. The simplicity and stark contrast between the shadow and the background evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue. The figure appears to be in a standing posture with a slightly angled stance, lacking discernible facial features or intricate details. This abstraction suggests a focus on the form and the impactful representation of the undefined human presence. The painting’s texture, raw brush strokes, and the unrefined edges of the shadow contribute to its conceptual and street art essence, embodying a sense of urban aesthetics and untamed expression.
