Pool Boy — A Hockney Memory, a hand-signed, limited edition giclée on canvas by LeYack, 60 x 40 cm, produced in France from 2020 onward, depicting a portrait in a Renaissance style with the subject viewed from behind.
Description from the seller
Under the implacable California sky, a teenager cleans a turquoise pool whose water ripples in endless arabesques. The house with clean lines, the palms standing like sentinels, the absolute noon calm — all evoke the golden hours of Bel Air or Palm Springs. An intentional homage to David Hockney's universe, this work celebrates California art in what it is most recognizable: light, blue, modernist architecture, and that tranquil sensuality of the body at rest. The young man, seen from behind, becomes a timeless figure — that of eternal summer, leisure transformed into art, and a certain idea of earthly paradise. The precision of drawing, the accuracy of shadows, and the depth of the water compose a scene of rare contemplative beauty.
