Meaning & Analysis

In The Pacific Ocean At Malibu, Hockney utilises the chromogenic print process to achieve rich colour saturation and crisp details. The composition presents a sunlit room with furnishings framed by expansive windows, offering a view of the Pacific Ocean. Hockney's framing creates a sense of depth, guiding the viewer's eye from the interior elements to the ocean beyond.

This work exemplifies Hockney's interest in exploring different media and his ability to find intriguing subjects in everyday settings. The use of photography allowed Hockney to capture momentary light effects that differ from his painted works. The piece is part of a series of photographic works Hockney created in California during this period, reflecting his fascination with the region's distinctive light and landscapes.

  • British-born artist David Hockney is a kaleidoscopic force in the art world. Born in 1937, Hockney's vibrant palette and innovative techniques have left an indelible mark on contemporary art.
