    Francis Russell, 2009

    Francis Russell, 2009 is one of Hockney's Computer Portraits as part of the wider Computer Drawings collection created using early computer-based artistic technology. This piece shows a contemplative seated portrait of a middle-aged man in a brown tweed jacket and blue jeans, legs crossed and hands resting on his knee.
     
    Highlighting his forward‑thinking approach, Hockney’s digital portraits leverage early computer software and modern, stylized forms to fuse traditional portraiture with cutting‑edge technology.

    - David Hockney

    David Hockney’s portrait of Francis Russell presents the sitter in a relaxed, yet confident pose. Seated with one leg crossed over the other, Russell leans slightly back, wearing a plaid blazer over a light shirt and blue jeans. His direct gaze and the casual, informal positioning create a sense of ease, while the soft lines and muted color palette emphasize a thoughtful demeanor. Hockney's ability to capture subtle expressions and body language brings an engaging personal quality to the portrait.
