About this work
A Bigger Dominic Elliott is a digital drawing rendered as an inkjet print on paper mounted on aluminum, produced by David Hockney in 2008. Measuring 162 × 102 cm and issued in an edition of 12, this substantial work belongs to Hockney's groundbreaking engagement with digital drawing—a practice he began developing in the early 2000s using a Wacom tablet and Photoshop, and which he would later extend to the iPhone and iPad applications for which he became celebrated internationally. The title follows the naming convention Hockney established for many of his portraits of friends and associates, positioning A Bigger Dominic Elliott within his extended investigation of portraiture, intimacy, and the representation of the people who surround him. Hockney's digital drawings of this period capture the immediacy and fluency of his line-making translated into a new medium: the Wacom tablet allowed him to draw with a stylus in a way that closely approximated the sensation of working on paper, while the digital environment offered infinite revision, the ability to work in colour without drying time, and the capacity to produce large-format works directly from the screen. At 162 × 102 cm, A Bigger Dominic Elliott asserts itself as a major statement—its scale comparable to the large-format painted portraits Hockney has made throughout his career—while its digital origins give the surface a particular quality of luminous, screen-like precision. David Hockney is among the most significant and beloved artists of the past century, whose engagement with portraiture, landscape, colour, and the conditions of representation has been sustained across a career of extraordinary range and consistency. A Bigger Dominic Elliott belongs to a series of digital portraits that documents his circle of friends and colleagues with the same attentiveness and warmth that characterises his painted portraits, extending this tradition into the digital medium at a pivotal moment in its development. The edition of 12 ensures the exceptional rarity of this significant work.
