1971 · Akryl na plátně

Větší splašení

1967 · Olej na plátně

David Hockneyho “A Bigger Splash” z roku 1967 je ikonický obraz, který bezesporu definuje ducha pop artu. Nejde jen o plátno s bazénem a domem; je to dynamická studie kontrastů – klidu a chaosu, statického a pohybujícího se. Hockney mistrovně zachytil okamžik po skoku do vody, kdy se rozlévá bílá vlna a zanechává za sebou jen stopy pohybu. Tento obraz je oslavou kalifornského života, ale zároveň i zamyšlením nad iluzí…

About David Hockney

Formativní roky a umělecké vzdělání

David Hockney se narodil v Bradfordě ve Spojeném království a vyrůstal v domácnosti se pěti dětmi. Jeho otec, Kenneth Hockney, pracoval jako účetní clerk a během druhé světové války byl nesouděným odpůrcem, zatímco jeho matka, Laura, byla metodistkou a přísnou vegetariánkou. Jeho raná léta byla zasycena průmyslovou krajinou Yorkshire, kterou charakterizovaly cihelné továrny a rušné trhy.

Své formální vzdělání začal budovat na Bradford School of Art v letech 1953 až 1957, kde se zaměřil na kresbu z modelu a portrétní tvorbu. Později se přestěhoval do Londýna, aby studoval na Royal College of Art, který vystudoval v roce 1962 s prestižním oceněním ve formě zlatého medailonu. Během svého působení na Royal College of Art byl úzce spjat s hnutím Pop Art.

Přestěhování do Los Angeles a proměna médií

V roce 1964 se Hockney přestěhoval do Los Angeles, což byl zásadní zvrat, který zcela proměnil jeho vnímání barvy a světla. Stal se známým především díky svým obrazům plavací bazénů, v nichž často využíval akrylové médium k zachycení vibrujících barev a pohybu vody. Jeho dílo z této éry zkoumalo geometrii suburbaního života a způsob, jakým světlo dopadá na různé povrchy.

Během celé své kariéry pracoval Hockney s řadou různých médií, včetně:

Jeho technický přístup zahrnoval využití reverzní perspektivy a přístroje camera lucida. V pozdějších letech pak využil digitální nástroje, jako jsou iPady a různé softwarové aplikace, aby na nový způsob přetvořil krajiny a zachytil neustále se měnící světlo.
