David Hockney Rain 1973, Abstract Blue Water Ripples Art Print

A rhythmic interplay of diagonal white lines and deep blue concentric circles defines this print. The composition captures the exact moment a droplet meets a still surface, creating expanding rings of motion across a rich, textured turquoise field.

About David Hockney

David Hockney, born in Yorkshire in 1937, is one of the most influential British artists of the past century. Hockney’s Los Angeles swimming pools of the 1960s made sunlit blue water a modern art icon. Pop Art’s bright colour and graphic punch make it ideal for playful, modern spaces. The original dates from 1973. An abstract print sets a mood through colour and is easy to pair with furniture and textiles.

Styling this David Hockney print

This David Hockney print combines a bold feel, a blue and teal palette and a focus on water. Choose 24×36″ to make “Rain” the focal point of a dorm room or living room, or 11×14″ to 16×20″ for a bedside or hallway wall. Finish “Rain” with a slim walnut or black frame: its blue and teal palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak.
