Portrait of an Artist Pool with Two Figures

David Hockney’s Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures), painted in 1972, is an unforgettable study of colour, atmosphere and human relationships. Set against the radiant landscape of Los Angeles, Hockney places a poised figure in a red jacket beside an intensely blue swimming pool, watching a swimmer drift beneath the crystal-clear surface. The painting’s extraordinary combination of turquoise water, lush green hills, distant mountains and brilliant Californian light creates an atmosphere that feels both tranquil and intriguingly elusive. Famous for his distinctive approach to perception, space and colour, Hockney transforms an apparently peaceful poolside moment into an artwork filled with emotion, mystery and visual drama.

• An exceptional centrepiece for modern homes, sophisticated apartments, sun-filled living spaces, stylish bedrooms and interiors inspired by travel, architecture and Californian glamour.

• The luminous blues and greens work beautifully with neutral furnishings, natural timber, crisp white décor and contemporary interiors, adding colour without overwhelming the space.

• Ideal for Hockney enthusiasts, modern art collectors and anyone looking for an instantly recognisable artwork with both visual impact and an intriguing story.

• Display it above a generous sofa, along a spacious hallway, in a home office or within a relaxed entertainment area, where its expansive landscape and swimming pool can be appreciated at scale.

• Available as a premium stretched canvas print, framed print or rolled canvas, with a massive choice of sizes from compact wall pieces to extra-large formats designed to make a dramatic impression.
