About Hockney Pool Blue

Hockney Pool Blue takes its cue from David Hockney's 1967 canvas "A Bigger Splash" — flat smooth acrylic, a calm turquoise pool, a pale sky, and a single white splash frozen against hard geometric edges. It is California modern distilled: no gradients, no brush marks, just confident planes of color basking in Los Angeles sun. The system trades depth for clarity. Generous negative space, crisp rectangles, and a quiet diagonal splash motif carry the composition, while salmon-pink architecture and ochre accents warm the cool turquoise ground. Everything stays matte, airy and serene.
