The artwork named “Untitled (Skipper Marlboro)” was crafted by Richard Hambleton in 1984 in New York City, United States. This piece falls under the art movement of Abstract Expressionism and is categorized as figurative art. The dimensions of the artwork are 35.6 x 45.7 cm.
The artwork depicts an abstract, yet discernible, figure of a horse and its rider amidst a flurry of dynamic lines and splashes of paint, evoking a sense of movement and intensity. There are indications of the text “Marlboro” subtly embedded within the composition, merging commercial imagery with abstract expressionist techniques. The texture of the paint and the atmosphere created by the frenetic strokes suggest a snowy or stormy environment, enhancing the emotive impact of the piece. This juxtaposition of figuration within an abstract context exemplifies Hambleton’s distinctive style of integrating gritty, urban influences with expressive brushwork.
