DAVID HOCKNEY BIOGRAPHY
David Hockney (born 1937) is one of the most celebrated and well-known British artists. He came to fame as one of the leading artists involved in the Pop art movement in the 1960s.
Hockney is particularly known as a painter and as one of the master drafters of our times. He widely champions drawing, which has underpinned his work throughout his life. His drawing is inspired by both the Old Masters, such as Rembrandt, and ‘modern Masters’ like Picasso.
He is known for experimenting in a range of media and techniques. These include printmaking, photography and stage design, as well as painting and drawing. He has also been creating artworks using iPads since they first came out in 2010, working with developers to create custom-made apps.
He is well-known for creating portraits of people he loves, making portraits of the same people again and again. These portraits include his parents and a close group of friends, showing their changing appearance and relationship with him.
Over the past six decades, Hockney’s inventive visual language has taken many different stylistic turns, from the early pen and ink, and coloured pencil drawings to his more recent experiments with watercolour and digital technology.
