Biography

Born in Bradford in 1937, David Hockney is one of the most important and celebrated living artists. He is known and respected as a draughtsman, printmaker, stage designer, photographer and writer.

Most recently the artist has brought to prominence the notion of ‘Digital Art’. Through his innovative use of the Apple iPad and video installations, Hockney has pioneered cutting edge concepts, elevating them to high art and introducing them to a global audience.

The young Hockney displayed a precocious talent for drawing, and at the age of eleven received a scholarship to the prestigious Bradford Grammar School. He would later attend the Bradford College of Art between 1953-7, and was accepted to the Royal College of Art in 1959.

While studying, Hockney began to work in oils in a fairly conservative tradition, and displayed impressive virtuosity in a naturalistic style. After seeing an exhibition of Alan Davie’s work in 1958, Hockney’s style moved toward the avant-garde pop art style with which he is now most often associated.

"What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because, of course, art is about sharing: you wouldn’t be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience."
