Meaning & Analysis

Third Detail, Snail Space, March 27th 1995, in one print in a series of five, depicting a fictional world David Hockney created, inspired by his own studio. Hockney’s studio is, allegedly, full of paintings: lining the walls, scattered on the floor, covering any and every possible surface area. Out of this chaos, came the inspiration for Snail Space, in which Hockney joins two canvases perpendicularly so that they form a mock up of a stage set. This miniature, scaled-down world, vibrant and colourful, delights in its own oddity. The abstracted forms within mimic hills, streams and houses, constructing a fictive world. Hockney’s Snail Space series has frequently been regarded as a summary of Hockney’s career and a poignant example of his belief that art should “overcome the sterility of despair”.

  • 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.
