The image showcases a collection of twelve framed self portraits by British artist David Hockney arranged in a grid formation against a teal blue background. The self portraits are iPad drawings printed on paper and mounted in aluminum, each featuring a close-up or half-body depiction of David Hockney. This painting could be seen from April 9 to August 31, 2025 at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, France, which hosted "David Hockney 25", an exhibition with paintings in a variety of media created from 1955-2025. The style of the paintings is characterized by bold brushstrokes and expressive use of color, suggesting a modern approach. The subjects of the portraits are all variations of David Hockney himself. He is depicted in different poses and expressions, sometimes wearing glasses and various articles of clothing, including hats and jackets. The portraits are dominated by warm colors like red, pink, and yellow. Some portraits show David Hockney looking directly at the viewer, while others depict him in more contemplative or expressive moods, with features like smoking a cigarette, writing, or with a surprised expression. The self portraits are arranged in a 3x4 grid, with each painting framed in a thin black frame. The arrangement creates a cohesive presentation, allowing for a visual study of the subject over time. The teal blue background provides a contrasting backdrop, emphasizing the color palette of the paintings.
