Meaning & Analysis

Created in April 1986, this home-made print utilises an office colour copy machine, a method Hockney began experimenting with in the mid-1980s. The composition features a blue plate with vividly coloured fruit, rendered with a playful use of texture and colour. The red and green hues of the fruit contrast sharply with the blue plate and the patterned background, creating a dynamic visual effect. This work is part of a series where Hockney explored the potential of unconventional printmaking techniques, reflecting his continuous innovation and willingness to experiment. The use of everyday objects as subjects ties this piece to Hockney's broader oeuvre, which often focuses on the beauty of the mundane.
