About this work
David Hockney stands as one of the most influential and commercially significant artists of the contemporary era. His works consistently achieve remarkable results at auction, with his paintings and prints representing cornerstones of major private and institutional collections worldwide. Hockney's enduring relevance stems from his relentless experimentation with technology and perception, qualities that define his practice across seven decades. A Bigger Scrabble Players exemplifies Hockney's innovative approach to image-making in the digital age. Created in 2015, this photographic drawing presents an intimate domestic scene rendered through the artist's distinctive method of combining multiple photographic elements into a unified composite. The work depicts figures engaged in the familiar activity of a Scrabble game, yet Hockney transforms this quotidian moment into a meditation on space, perspective, and human connection. The flattened picture plane and vivid chromatic intensity recall his celebrated pool paintings while demonstrating his continued exploration of how we perceive and construct visual reality. The slightly disjointed spatial relationships characteristic of his joiners and photographic drawings invite prolonged viewing, rewarding the observer with discoveries of subtle shifts in angle and focus. Printed on paper and mounted on aluminium, this substantial work measures sixty-nine and eight-tenths inches square, commanding significant presence within any collection environment. Issued in an edition of twelve, the work represents an accessible entry point into Hockney's technologically driven practice of recent years. Guy Hepner welcomes inquiries from collectors seeking to acquire this distinguished example of David Hockney's contemporary output. Please contact the gallery for availability, pricing, and further details regarding acquisition.

About the Photographic Drawings Series
David Hockney Photographic Drawings Prints For Sale
David Hockney's Photographic Drawings represent a revolutionary synthesis of technology and artistic vision, positioning the acclaimed British artist at the forefront of digital image-making in the 21st century. Created primarily between 2014 and 2018, this groundbreaking series demonstrates Hockney's masterful command of the iPad as a drawing tool, combined with sophisticated photographic compositing techniques. Works such as Focus Moving (2018), Inside It Opens Up As Well (2018), and the monumental Seven Trollies, Six and a Half Stools, Six Portraits, Eleven Paintings, and Two Curtains (2018) exemplify his innovative approach to capturing space, time, and perception simultaneously. These works challenge conventional photographic representation while maintaining Hockney's signature vibrancy and psychological depth.
The technical innovation within this series marks a significant evolution in Hockney's lifelong investigation of perspective and vision. By layering multiple photographic elements with hand-drawn digital interventions, the artist creates complex spatial narratives that recall his earlier Cubist-influenced photo collages while pushing far beyond their limitations. The Chairs (2014), Two Chairs With People (2014), and The Potted Palm (2014) demonstrate this hybrid methodology at its most refined, where drawing and photography become inseparable. Major works like A Bigger Card Players (2015)—a direct homage to Cézanne—and Pictures At An Exhibition (2018) showcase Hockney's ability to reference art historical precedents while creating entirely contemporary visual experiences.
From a market perspective, the Photographic Drawings series represents highly significant work from Hockney's most productive mature period, created during a time of unprecedented global recognition following major retrospectives at Tate Britain, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Centre Pompidou. These works appeal to collectors seeking museum-quality examples of digital art with traditional artistic rigor, offering both the technological innovation valued in contemporary practice and the authorial presence demanded of blue-chip holdings. As Hockney continues to influence younger generations of digital artists, these photographic drawings stand as foundational works in the canon of 21st-century image-making.
Available through Guy Hepner gallery.
