An image of intense movement and fury, Richard Hambleton's painting 'Tribeca Rider' was painted shortly before his withdrawal from the limelight of the art world. The world-famous artist, whose immense dedication to his art saw him live between the highest circles of the art world and depths of poverty, exchanged this artwork for food in the restaurant in Tribeca where he ate daily. Thrown between these two extremes, the artist’s turbulent life and state of mind can also be seen in the highly emotional painting of the Tribeca rider; grappling with the violence of his horse, barely visible through the gestures of frenetic movement.

This vibrant orange trial proof silkscreen is one of only 22 different colour-ways, framed in satin black pine and spruce which beautifully contrasts the rawness of Hambleton’s brush strokes and emotive swathes of paint. Exclusive to Castle Fine Art, the limited edition artwork has been created from the original in the Hambleton archive to continue his legacy and each silkscreen bears the printed impression of Richard Hambleton’s signature on the reverse.
