Shadowman

Streaming video - 2017

At once an engaging tale of the rise and fall of the former Lower East Side luminary Richard Hambleton, and a searing critique of the commerce-driven art world that discarded him when his work no longer conformed to the trends of the moment. SHADOWMAN opens viewers' eyes to Hambleton's work itself - which remains relatively unknown despite its link to contemporaries like Basquiat and descendants like Banksy, not to mention high profile late-career shows and a recent selection in the Museum of Modern Art - as well as the subculture of the 80's downtown scene at large, and the effect of Hambleton's work on the New York City landscape. Official Selection at the **Tribeca Film Festival.** *"A captivating portrait of the... modern art world, and the manner in which it repackages and resells its icons." - Jason Bailey, **Flavorwire***
