The artwork titled “Standing Shadow, 2013,” created by the distinguished artist Richard Hambleton, is an acrylic piece produced in 2013. It falls under the genres of Conceptual Art and Street Art, with dimensions measuring 81.3 by 31.5 cm.
The artwork presents a human silhouette, skillfully depicted in stark black against a contrasting background. The figure, rendered in an abstract manner, exudes an ethereal presence, emphasized by the wispy, dripping application of paint. Through the use of acrylic, Hambleton achieves a striking intensity and depth, capturing the ephemeral nature consistent with his style in both Conceptual and Street Art movements. The interplay of dark and light tones within the composition accentuates the shadow’s form, imbuing the piece with a sense of motion and mystery.
