Meaning & Analysis

The print depicts an outdoor altar with a burning fireplace rendered as a swarm of twisted lines in orange and yellow. While Hockney’s many depictions of domestic spaces have varied from minimalistic to exuberantly detailed and playful, the digital paintings represent the artist’s renewed foray into experiments with colour and bold marks characterising his earlier works, such as Pembroke Studio Interior (1984). Created shortly after the outbreak of the global pandemic, the image of the hearth inevitably invites associations with the comfort of retreating into one’s private space during uncertain times. A strip of red bricks in the top part of the drawing combined with beige floor and brown background behind the fireplace establish a warm colour palette that further tightens the link between the subject matter and notions of solace and escape.

  • 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.
