Richard Hambleton

Lougher Contemporary is proud to present a curated selection of artworks by Richard Hambleton, the enigmatic artist often referred to as the “Godfather of Street Art.” A pivotal figure in the downtown New York art scene of the 1980s, Hambleton is best known for his haunting Shadowman paintings and visceral urban interventions that predated and influenced the likes of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.

Our collection features original work that captures the raw energy, immediacy, and psychological intensity that define Hambleton’s practice. His iconic figures—often rendered in black paint with expressive, gestural strokes—carry a sense of urgency and movement that continues to resonate in contemporary culture.
