Ruby Dreaming, 2019

Ruby Dreaming, 2019 is part of a 35-edition release from Hockney's My Normandy series. This piece shows a vibrant interior merging with a fantastical landscape, where patterned curtains frame a view of stylised trees, flowing water, and a vivid blue sky. Two white dogs sit calmly beside a striped rug and a framed artwork propped against layered surfaces. The scene is rendered with playful linework and bright colour, blending indoor and outdoor elements seamlessly.

The My Normandy collection captures the charm of the French countryside surrounding Hockney’s Normandy home. Using inkjet print, the series explores seasonal change, light, and spatial depth. It stands as a joyful celebration of rural tranquillity through Hockney’s innovative visual language.

"Try and depict your feelings of space, and forget photographic vision, which is distancing us too much from the physical world"
