Meaning & Analysis
Landscape With A Plant, July 1986 by David Hockney is a print created using an office colour copy machine. This piece, from an edition of 50, showcases Hockney's exploration of new printmaking techniques in the 1980s. The work depicts a stylised plant amidst abstract forms. The artwork features a central plant with exaggerated foliage, surrounded by abstract shapes in bold hues of red, blue, and green. Hockney employs intricate, cross-hatched lines in the background, adding depth and texture to the composition.
This piece is notable for its unconventional creation method, reflecting Hockney's ongoing exploration of new mediums. The use of an office colour copy machine was uncommon for fine art in the 1980s, challenging established norms of printmaking. By repurposing everyday technology, Hockney created a unique visual language that bridged the gap between conventional and contemporary art-making processes.
The work is part of a larger series investigating the potential of digital technology in art, aligning with Hockney's broader interest in combining modern techniques with classical artistic practices. This approach not only expanded the possibilities of printmaking but also anticipated the increasing role of digital technology in art production in subsequent decades.
