David Hockney's Bora Bora evokes a tropical shoreline through an airy arrangement of coloured marks. Green palms and foliage gather on the left, while short blue strokes suggest the movement of the sea and pale curves animate the open sky. Generous areas of unprinted ground give the scene a light, expansive quality, allowing individual gestures to carry the landscape.

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