Konsttryck med poolmotiv av David Hockney

For a living room focal point, we'd go with one of the larger compositions like A Bigger Splash or Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) in a 70x100cm framed print. That size sits perfectly above a standard three-seater sofa and gives the image room to breathe. The flat California blues and turquoises in Hockney's pool paintings pair brilliantly with neutral walls and warm wood tones. Our framed Hockney pool prints arrive ready to hang with solid wood frames and UV-protective glazing, so those vivid blues won't fade even if your sofa gets afternoon sun.

Honestly, this is one of our most popular gift choices. The prints are museum-grade giclée on thick matte paper, and the framed versions come in solid FSC-certified wood with UV-protective acrylic glazing. Everything arrives in one box, properly fitted and ready to hang, so your recipient doesn't need to fuss with framing. Hockney's pool paintings are one of those rare subjects that almost everyone recognises and loves, which makes them a reliably brilliant gift for housewarmings, birthdays, or anyone who's just moved.

They genuinely look better. Our shoppers comment on this constantly. The giclée printing process captures the full depth of those iconic turquoise and cerulean blues, and the thick matte paper gives the colours a richness you don't get from cheaper poster-style prints. There's no glare either, so you see the true colour from any angle. We use inks rated to last hundreds of years without fading, which matters when you're buying Hockney pool wall art that you want to keep looking perfect for decades.

Yes, and it works really well for these paintings. A David Hockney pool canvas uses mirrored edge wrapping so none of the main image gets cropped, and the smooth matte finish suits Hockney's clean lines and flat colour fields beautifully. We offer canvas up to an XL 100x150cm, which is seriously impactful if you have a large wall to fill. Unframed canvas gives you that gallery-minimal look, or you can add a frame for something more polished. Either way, it's hand-stretched over solid wood so it won't warp or sag over time.

Hockney moved to Los Angeles in the 1960s and became fascinated by the way light hit the surface of swimming pools. The result was a series of paintings that captured something entirely new: the colour, warmth, and casual luxury of Californian life, rendered in his distinctive flat, graphic style. A Bigger Splash is probably the most recognised, with its almost photographic stillness broken by that single explosive splash. Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) is arguably the most celebrated, having sold for over $90 million at auction. Both make stunning David Hockney pool art prints and are consistently among our bestsellers.
