Sophia 2006

"Sophia," a 2006 work by Richard Hambleton, is an abstract painting characterized by its muted palette of greens and greys. Hambleton, known for his urban art and shadowy figures, displays a different side in this piece. The soft, almost atmospheric, rendering of the subject, likely a landscape, suggests a tranquil mood. The title "Sophia," which is a Greek name meaning wisdom, adds another layer of contemplation to the work. The simple yet evocative piece offers a glimpse into Hambleton’s artistic breadth and his exploration of both figurative and abstract themes.
