Meaning & Analysis
Snails Space (complete set) by David Hockney, created in 1995, is a series of ten digital inkjet prints on heavy textured Somerset paper. This vibrant collection showcases Hockney's exploration of abstract forms and vivid colours. Each print is signed and numbered, part of a limited edition of 45, and produced by Nash Editions in Los Angeles.
Snails Space (complete set) presents a visual exploration of Hockney's abstract world. The series features intricate patterns and bold colours, creating a dynamic interplay of shapes that suggest movement and energy. Hockney's use of digital inkjet printing on heavy textured Somerset paper adds depth and texture to each piece, enhancing their visual impact. This series marks a significant departure from Hockney's earlier works, embracing a more abstract and experimental approach. The prints capture different perspectives and details of Hockney's larger mixed media installation, Snails Space With Vari-Lites. Created during a period when Hockney was also experimenting with stage design, Snails Space (complete set) showcases his ability to translate three-dimensional concepts into compelling two-dimensional prints.
