Richard Hambleton is most famous for his "Shadowman" paintings of the early 1980s. Each painting resembles a life-sized silhouetted image of some mysterious person, a "splashy shadow figure."[6] These "shadow paintings" were splashed and brushed with black paint on hundreds of buildings and other structures across New York City. Locations were believed to be calculated for maximum impact upon unsuspecting pedestrians.[2] Very often, a "Shadowman" could be found in a dark alley or lurking just around a street corner.[7] Hambleton later expanded the scope of his project and painted these "shadowmen" in other cities, including Paris, London and Rome,[8] and even, in 1984, he painted 17 life-size figures on the East side of the Berlin Wall, returning a year later to paint more figures on the West side of the Berlin Wall.[9] in 1983, during Malcolm McLaren's fashion design partnership with Vivienne Westwood, they collaborated with Hambleton to create a [10]"Shadowman" jersey skirt.
