About the Artwork

Movie Night is a highly sought-after limited edition by celebrated contemporary British artist Doug Hyde. Combining Hyde's instantly recognisable character with one of life's simple pleasures, the artwork centres around an oversized tub of popcorn rendered in a vibrant pop-art inspired style. Enhanced with applied three-dimensional elements, the piece possesses a remarkable sense of depth and physical presence that elevates it beyond a traditional print.

Drawing inspiration from classic comic-book imagery and the bold visual language of Pop Art, Hyde creates an image filled with humour, nostalgia and warmth. The bright blue polka-dot background, vibrant primary colours and comic-style "POP!" motif immediately recall the work of Roy Lichtenstein whilst remaining unmistakably Doug Hyde in both execution and spirit.

Speaking about the artwork, Hyde commented:

“A love of films, popcorn and Roy Lichtenstein all rolled into one. Popcorn and movies go hand in hand, what is a movie night without a bucket of popcorn on your lap? What is a movie and popcorn without a friend to share it with?”

This sentiment perfectly captures the appeal of the piece. Like so many of Hyde's most successful works, Movie Night celebrates friendship, companionship and shared experiences, transforming an everyday moment into something joyful and memorable. The addition of raised three-dimensional popcorn elements introduces texture and playfulness, creating a work that continually draws the viewer back for a closer look.

Measuring approximately 76cm × 76cm (30" × 30") and presented in a substantial frame measuring approximately 81cm × 81cm (32" × 32"), the artwork offers excellent wall presence and makes an ideal focal point for a living room, cinema room, family room or contemporary interior.

Numbered 24/95 and accompanied by its certificate of authenticity, this example comes from a comparatively small edition and represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable work by one of Britain's most collected contemporary artists.
