Edition of 31, Home-made print executed on an office colour copy machine, on Arches Text paper, the full sheet, signed. Two Red Chairs and Table (1986) by David Hockney reflects the artist’s enduring fascination with the quiet symbolism of everyday objects. Created as a signed digital print from an edition of 31, the work centres on a simple arrangement of chairs and a table, a motif that Hockney returned to repeatedly throughout his career. Within his work, chairs often function as subtle stand-ins for human presence, suggesting moments of rest, conversation, or absence without the need for a visible figure. In this composition, two red chairs are arranged around a table, evoking a scene of informal summer relaxation. Yet the image resists strict realism. The perspective is deliberately skewed, causing the chairs to bend and stretch into animated forms. Their extended legs and angled structures almost resemble human limbs, giving the furniture a sense of personality and presence. Through this distortion, Hockney transforms a familiar domestic setting into a dynamic and expressive visual space.The print also reveals Hockney’s painterly sensibility and his openness to experimentation with printmaking techniques during this period. The lines feel organic and fluid, emphasising gesture and movement rather than rigid structure. By allowing the perspective to shift and the forms to take on a life of their own, Hockney elevates an ordinary interior scene into a playful exploration of perception, narrative, and the emotional possibilities contained within everyday objects.
