About the artist

David Hockney — Etching , 40 × 50 cm (representative image)
David Hockney

United Kingdom, b. 1937

David Hockney (born 1937, Bradford, United Kingdom) is one of the most influential British artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, renowned for his innovative contributions to painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and digital art. Hockney’s style is characterized by vibrant color palettes, explorations of perspective, and a keen observation of everyday life, most famously depicted in his iconic swimming pool series from his years in California. His work often bridges figurative and abstract traditions, and he has been a pioneer in embracing new technologies, including iPad drawings and digital compositions.

Hockney’s art has been the subject of major institutional exhibitions worldwide, including retrospectives at Tate Britain (London), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York). His works are held in the permanent collections of leading museums such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). At auction, Hockney has achieved significant milestones; notably, his painting "Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)" sold at Christie’s in 2018 for over $90 million, setting a record at the time for a living artist. Hockney continues to live and work between the UK and the US, maintaining a dynamic presence in the contemporary art world.

Printmaking

Images made by transferring ink from a prepared surface — etching, lithography, screenprint, woodcut — usually in limited editions. Iraqi artists such as Rafa Nasiri helped make printmaking a serious modern art form across the Arab world.

Expressionism

Art that prioritizes emotion and inner experience over realistic depiction, using distortion, bold color, and energetic mark-making. In the region it gave modern artists a language for memory, displacement, and identity.
