Meaning & Analysis
A great wave swells up above a series of standing stones or shadowy figures. Planes of colour converge and consume each other, their various textures and colours provoking dynamic counterpoints. Here Hockney – with the help of the famous Gemini G.E.L. workshop in LA – is pushing the medium of lithography to its limits, creating daring and bold compositions that combine a range of techniques and marks to form something entirely new. The style of Gorge Incre recalls that of the series Some New Paintings which saw Hockney achieving these effects on canvas. Here the work has been flattened and yet the dynamism is retained, thanks to the layers of depth added by the various textures. As with the series that precedes this one, Some New Prints, the works in Some More New Prints also recall the colourful compositions Hockney produced when he was commissioned to design sets for the opera Die Frau Ohne Schatten, of which he remarked, “These started simply and grew more and more complex. I soon realized that what I was doing was making internal landscapes, using different marks and textures to create space, so that the viewer wanders around.”
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.
