Richard Hambleton | Double Shadow Head, Gold | Original

Double Shadow Head, Gold" is a rare, original work by the legendary Richard Hambleton (1952–2017), widely recognized as the "Godfather of Street Art". A contemporary of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, Hambleton’s influence helped define the gritty, expressive landscape of the 1980s downtown art scene.

The Artwork This striking diptych features Hambleton’s iconic "Shadow Head" motif—a more intimate, psychological evolution of the life-sized silhouettes that once haunted Manhattan’s alleyways. Rendered in his signature expressive style, the bold black silhouettes are set against a luminous gold background, merging urban grit with a transcendent, almost regal finish. Each brushstroke carries the raw energy and immediacy that made his work famous globally.
