Meaning & Analysis

Considering the uninhibited exposure of the naked male body in the picture, the portrait can be seen to represent one of Hockney’s boldest takes on the subject of intimacy and same-sex desire. Located against a plain background and at the very forefront of the print, the male body here holds a special presence. Given the minimalism of the scene, the viewer is encouraged to focus attention entirely on the implicit eroticism and intimacy conveyed by the image of Evan’s reclining body. Hockney and Evans’ friendship continues until today and the artist’s extensive exhibition 82 Portraits And 1 Still-life at the Royal Academy in 2016 featured Gregory in a large-size, acrylic painting.

  • 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. A pioneer of the British Pop Art movement in the 1960s, he seamlessly transitioned through various styles, from photo collages to vivid landscapes. Renowned for his exploration of light and space, Hockney's versatility extends to painting, printmaking, photography, and stage design. A captivating storyteller, his works often capture the essence of modern life with a playful yet profound touch. With a career spanning decades, Hockney remains an enduring visionary in the ever-evolving art world.
