Known as an important contributor to the pop art movement in the 1960s, Hockney died peacefully at his home, a month before his 89th birthday.
Hockney's career spanned six decades, best known for his multimedia approach to his paintings, using traditional painting, printmaking, photography and digital art. In his early career, Hockney was best known for his paintings of swimming pools that defined the Los Angeles aesthetic.
He then moved to Los Angeles in 1964 where he was inspired to make a series of paintings of swimming pools using vibrant colours.
Throughout his career, Hockney received multiple honours, including being appointed by Queen Elizabeth II to the Order of the Companions of Honour in 1997 and to the Order of Merit in 2012.
Art historian Richard Morris shared on X: "Shocked to hear David Hockney has died. His huge achievement was to make serious painting look effortless. He carried forward one of the most sustained investigations into vision, space and representation by any post-war artist. British art has lost a giant."
