A wash of aquamarine ink frames the left hand corner of the composition, contrasting sharply with drips of black that hang down like a dessicated vine over the scene below. Abstract shapes, layered and collaged, dominate, their planes converging, their range of colours and textures creating a kind of playground for the eye. Here the medium of lithography is pushed to its limits; the artist applies ink with a brush, scratches it away and then incorporates elements of screen printing to give the effect of swimming pool tiles. Catherine’s Walk belongs to the 1993 series Some More New Prints, which Hockney embarked upon after his series Some New Paintings and Some New Prints. Each series shows his continuing fascination with abstract forms and mixing of bright colours in lithography, drawing on the influence of Cubism as well as his own experimentation with photographic collages. The works also recall the artist’s stage sets for the opera Die Frau Ohne Schatte; remarking upon these commissioned works he said, “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.
