Richard Hambleton exhibition

An exhibition of work by Richard Hambleton is running at The Dairy on Westgate Street, London, WC1 until December 3.

The first major UK exhibition for the seminal New York artist brings 38 pieces - half of which have never been seen - to the capital.

Hambleton's roots are set in 1980s New York counterculture – the same guerilla art movement that brought the world Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.

Best known for his Shadowman and Image Mass Murder series, he earned his title as the 'Godfather of Street Art' creating public art to shock and capture the imaginations of passers by.

If you have any sort of interest in street art, you need to get to this exhibition before it closes.
