Self-Portrait II is a 2012 artwork by David Hockney. This piece, an iPad drawing printed on paper, depicts the artist himself, gazing directly out to the viewer. It is part of a limited edition series of 25 prints, each measuring 37 x 28 inches (94 x 71 cm) unframed. The work reflects Hockney's ongoing exploration of self-portraiture throughout his career, rendering his own likeness with different and experimental media.
In Self-Portrait II, Hockney employs distinct lines and vivid colours to render his self-portrait. The portrait features Hockney in a contemplative pose, wearing his characteristic flat cap and red-rimmed glasses, with prominent use of red and blue hues throughout that emphasise his face and attire. The digital drawing was transferred onto paper using archival inks, ensuring longevity and colour fidelity. This piece combines traditional portraiture with digital techniques, illustrating Hockney's evolving approach to art-making. It fits within Hockney's broader oeuvre of self-portraits, which span from early etchings to recent digital drawings, with over 300 self-portraits created throughout his career.
