This is a brilliant piece of anti-style graffiti writing from Taboo, which demonstrates clearly how interconnected and varied the art world is. The piece is a touching tribute to David Hockney, whose own unconventional style won over the public’s imagination and whose legacy will forever influence artists worldwide.
Taboo’s unconventional green letters sit on a pink background, but it is the scene inside the second ‘O’ that steals the show. There is a little pastiche of a swimming pool and diving-board, a theme so familiar in many of Hockney’s paintings. Such a lovely idea and tribute to pay. Bravo!

What a clever tribute. That little pool and diving board nestled in the second ‘O’ is such a knowing nod, it speaks to how deeply Hockney’s visual language has seeped into contemporary art. And the fact that Taboo chooses unconventional green on pink to deliver it? That’s anti-style making a very clear statement about artistic lineage and permission. Beautiful documentation of one artist honoring another. 🎨

Like this, and agree about the pool. However, the term “anti-style” is confusing to me. Care to explain?
