Born in 1937 in Bradford, England, the Los Angeles based British expatriate has always been creating captivating paintings that give his viewer a variety of glimpses - affectionate pictorials of his friends, his family, himself; glimpses of refreshing Los Angeles swimming pools and exotic far away destinations. David Hockney's work is indeed representational, but with a lively, subtle abstracted twist; he is an artist who refuses to confine himself to just one medium.

As a respected painter and printmaker, a skilled draftsman, an award-winning set designer and a profoundly adept photographer, Hockney and his highly sought after works have touched virtually every aspect of the art world. He has been the subject of major retrospectives and his prints and paintings are found in the world's greatest public and private collections.
