DAVID HOCKNEY Gregory walking, 1983, 1983

This original poster was created for the Venice Family Clinic Art Walk ’83, held on May 15, 1983, and features Gregory Walking by Brian Baggott, referenced as Catalogue No. 112.

The composition presents a compelling sequential image of a lone figure walking, repeated and slightly offset across the surface to create a rhythmic, almost cinematic progression. This fragmented repetition captures both movement and time, echoing photographic studies of motion while engaging with the visual language of early 1980s conceptual and postmodern art. The subject—dressed in casual attire with a backpack—becomes both individual and archetype, suggesting themes of urban life, routine, and identity.

Set against a muted, open background, the layered imagery creates a sense of quiet narrative and introspection, while the clean typography below anchors the work within its context as a cultural and community-driven event. The Venice Family Clinic Art Walk was an important Los Angeles initiative, combining art and philanthropy to support healthcare services, and posters from these events have become increasingly collectible as documents of the period.

Printed in the pre-digital poster era, this piece retains the subtle tonal quality and layered effect characteristic of offset production in the early 1980s.

A visually engaging and historically relevant poster, appealing to collectors of contemporary photography-based imagery, California art culture, and 1980s exhibition material.
