Richard Hambleton, widely regarded as the Godfather of Street Art, was a pioneering artist whose work reshaped the visual language of urban art in 1980s New York. Best known for his haunting “Shadowman” figures, Hambleton introduced urgency, danger and performance into public space, blurring the boundaries between graffiti, conceptual art and painting. His work influenced an entire generation and helped establish street art as a serious contemporary movement.
