About The Citizen

The artwork entitled “The Citizen,” created by Richard Hamilton in 1983, is an oil on canvas portrait that currently resides in the Tate Modern in London, UK.

The artwork is a compelling and evocative piece featuring a male figure with long dark hair, rendered in a highly detailed manner. He is depicted standing barefoot upon a soft surface, partially draped in a dark cloth. The composition consists of two panels: the left panel showcases an abstract, swirling pattern that exudes a sense of depth and complexity, while the right panel, where the figure is situated, presents a stark and contrasting focus on the subject. The figure’s gaze and posture evoke a sense of introspection and resilience. The interplay of light and shade, along with the textural intricacies, contributes to the powerful and thought-provoking nature of the artwork.
