Meaning & Analysis

In Two Red Chairs, utilised an office colour copier to create this print, expanding the possibilities of traditional art-making techniques. Hockney's composition juxtaposes two red chairs against a backdrop of green foliage and blue lines, employing a palette of primary colours characteristic of his work from this period. The homemade print technique on Arches Text paper demonstrates Hockney's experimental nature and his ability to adapt commercial technology for artistic purposes. Each print in the edition of 31 is signed, dated, and numbered by the artist, with Hockney's blindstamp adding to its authenticity.

This artwork is part of Hockney's broader exploration of domestic scenes and everyday objects. The simplified forms and bold colours reflect his interest in the visual language of advertising and popular culture, while also nodding to his earlier Pop Art influences.

  • 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.
