Grey Blooms
Grey Blooms (1986) is a signed print on 100% rag Arches Text paper demonstrating Hockney's fascination with the technology of photocopying. Overflowing with exuberant shapes, playful petal forms, and robust, curved lines, the print captures the creative evolution of Hockney’s style as he experiments with fragments of cutout paper and places them in unexpected spatial relationships. What interests the artist here is not the realism of representation present in his other flower paintings but bringing the commonplace subject matter closer to abstraction.
