Above and Beyond

Description

Screenprint in colors, 1993

Sheet: 622 by 850 mm

Edition of 68

Signed in pencil, dated and numbered from Some More New Prints, with the blindstamp of the publisher Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles, and with their inkstamp on the verso, on Arches 88 wove paper, framed.

Bright blue ribbons, yellow curves and sharply contrasting black forms fold across this densely layered composition. Hockney uses repeated linear marks to give each colour a different rhythm, while shifting angles make the space appear to turn and open out. Above and Beyond balances exuberant colour with a restless sense of depth.

All works are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Dovehouse Contemporary.

The Artist

David Hockney

Born in Bradford England on the 9th July 1937 David Hockney was interested in art from a very early age, and was an admirer of Fragonard, Picasso and Matisse. The fifth of six children his parents encouraged his artistic experimentation. He went to the Bradford College of Art 1953-57. To fulfil his national service, he worked in hospitals as he was a conscientious objector to war. Then in 1959 he was accepted into the Royal College of Art, Graduate school in London.
