David Hockney (1937-2026)

We are devastated to hear of the passing of David Hockney, an artist so close our hearts here at the gallery.

Hockney’s life and work as a Northern artist inspired much of our approach here at Smolensky. His prolific and unapologetic nature ensured that he will continue to resonate with generations of collectors all over the world.

“I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money – I think that can be a burden – I’m greedy for an exciting life” - David Hockney

Werner Bronkhorst is one of South African’s most sought after contemporary artist best known for his iconic depiction of figures and his use of heavily textured acrylic gel, creating a richly sculptural surfaces that bring depth, movement, and energy to his compositions. His distinctive visual language explores themes of hope, resilience, and the shared journeys that connect us all, earning him an international collector following.

In Rainbow Road, Bronkhorst transforms vibrant bands of colour into a symbolic landscape of possibility, with his signature figures navigating their own paths across a spectrum of optimism and light.

Regarded as one of the most important figurative painters working today, Jenny Saville has redefined the portrayal of the female form through her visceral brushwork and uncompromising psychological intensity. Her landmark painting Propped remains one of the defining masterpieces of the Young British Artists movement.

Released in 2025, Gaze captures Saville’s unmistakable painterly language with remarkable fidelity — layering abstraction and realism into a portrait that feels both intimate and confrontational.

Space One (Red) is a from Invader’s celebrated Space collection in 2013, highly sought after for its direct connection to the artist’s groundbreaking ART4SPACE project the first time an Invader mosaic was launched into space. Reproducing the exact “Space One” mosaic sent beyond Earth, the work represents a defining moment in Invader’s career and reflects his long-standing fascination with digital culture, exploration, and urban intervention.
