Description

Green Bora Bora

By David Hockney

1979

Lithograph on BFK Rives

89 x 107 cm

Edition of 50

Hand-signed, numbered and dated by Hockney

A lithograph featuring palm trees, the sky and crashing waves cleverly composed just using curved turquoise lines that flow freely across the image, designed to convey feelings of quietness and serenity. Within, Hockney favours minimalist linework but expertly creates a difference in depth between the land, sea and sky, as well as the rhythm of the waves, to convey the tranquil nature of the island. The work reflects Hockney’s continual experimentation with printmaking techniques, transforming a simple landscape into a modern, expressive study of nature.

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.
