Louver&nbsp;is&nbsp;highlighting two works on paper&nbsp;by the artist that are currently on view in&nbsp;<em>L.A. Louver Celebrates 50 Years&nbsp;<\/em>as a&nbsp;complement to the&nbsp;spectacular painting&nbsp;<em>Midsummer Tunnel - August 2006<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Created while the artist quarantined in his studio and residency in Normandy, Hockney\u2019s 2021 series of twenty flower iPad paintings captures various arrangements of blooms set against a backdrop of gingham tablecloths and burgundy walls. \u201cI was just sitting at the table in our house, and I caught sight of some flowers in a vase on the table,\u201d Hockney explains. \u201cA few days later I started another from the same position with the same ceramic vase. This took longer to do. I then realized if I put the flowers in a glass vase the sun would catch the water, and painting glass would be a more interesting thing to do. So then I was off.\u201d In the first work of the series,&nbsp;<em>30th January 2021, The First One<\/em>, small white buds and magenta blooms are nestled amongst neon foliage in a white ceramic vase. Capturing a spectrum of floral compositions with contrasting tones and textures, Hockney displays his propensity for balancing the central artistic elements of line, color, and perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d2954c4265a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d2954c4265a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1373\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/david-hockney-ipad-drawing-flowers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/david-hockney-ipad-drawing-flowers.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/david-hockney-ipad-drawing-flowers-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/david-hockney-ipad-drawing-flowers-768x976.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">David Hockney,&nbsp;<em>30th January 2021<\/em>, The First One, 2021, iPad painting printed on paper, Framed: 36 3\/4 x 26 3\/4 in.

In this work\u2014part of a series of works Hockney refers to as photographic drawings\u2014the artist turns his eye to his studio, continuing a career-long experimentation with multi-point perspective and composite photography. This time working digitally, Hockney and technology assistant John Wilkinson photographed each studio object\u2014the trollies, stools, portraits, paintings, and curtains of the title\u2014from every possible angle, feeding the photographs into software that seamlessly stitched them together into discrete, manipulable image-objects. Hockney then moved, spun, tilted, and placed the objects throughout the notional space of the studio, digitally altering color and adding light and shadow to achieve the final effect. The result is a fictionalized scene whose contents nonetheless vibrate with startling three-dimensionality and palpable realness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d2954c42d9f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d2954c42d9f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"879\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/David-Hockney-Seven-Trollies-Six-and-a-Half-Stools-Six-Portraits-Eleven-Paintings-and-Two-Curtains-2018-2000x879.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/David-Hockney-Seven-Trollies-Six-and-a-Half-Stools-Six-Portraits-Eleven-Paintings-and-Two-Curtains-2018-2000x879.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/David-Hockney-Seven-Trollies-Six-and-a-Half-Stools-Six-Portraits-Eleven-Paintings-and-Two-Curtains-2018-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/David-Hockney-Seven-Trollies-Six-and-a-Half-Stools-Six-Portraits-Eleven-Paintings-and-Two-Curtains-2018-768x337.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/David-Hockney-Seven-Trollies-Six-and-a-Half-Stools-Six-Portraits-Eleven-Paintings-and-Two-Curtains-2018-1536x675.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lalouver.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/David-Hockney-Seven-Trollies-Six-and-a-Half-Stools-Six-Portraits-Eleven-Paintings-and-Two-Curtains-2018-2048x900.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">David Hockney,&nbsp;<em>Seven Trollies, Six and a Half Stools, Six Portraits, Eleven Paintings, and Two Curtains<\/em>, 2018, Photographic drawing printed on paper, mounted on Dibond,&nbsp;Framed: 36 1\/4 x 93 1\/4 in. (92.1 x 236.9 cm), Edition 24 of 25<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>David Hockney (British, b. 1937) has produced some of the most vividly recognizable and influential works of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Hockney gained notoriety in his midtwenties after receiving the Gold Medal from London\u2019s Royal College of Art, and he quickly became associated with the British Pop Art movement. In the late 1960s Hockney relocated to California and established himself as a prolific figurative and landscape artist. He is perhaps best recognized for the works he produced there: brightly colored, large-scale evocative images of the Southern California lifestyle as well as domestic, intimate portraits of his friends, family, and lovers. Hockney\u2019s works are notable for their quietness of subject, flatness of space, and subtle reduction of form. Throughout his career he has worked in a wide variety of media, including painting, drawing, collage, photography, and printmaking, often utilizing contemporary technologies that have included fax machines, laser photocopiers, tablet devices, and other digital instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L.A. Louver is proud of its long representation of David Hockney, an association that dates back to 1978. We wish David a very happy birthday and invite you to view these three works&nbsp;in person, on view now in&nbsp;<em>L.A.
