David Hockney: A Bigger Picture - ArtLyst Event

David Hockney: A Bigger Picture - Royal Academy of Arts

Featured Event

This exhibition demonstrates David Hockney’s tremendous capacity to re-invent himself and move with the times. Look, for example, to his airbrushed Ipad drawings (the tablet having replaced the artist’s sketchbook!), which appear like spoof versions of his paintings, glitchily replicated on Paint by geeky 13 year-olds: or, to his movie-montages that rework his classic photo-montage with HD monitors.

READ REVIEW...

In January 2012 the Royal Academy of Arts will showcase the first major exhibition of new landscape works by David Hockney RA. Featuring vivid paintings inspired by the East Yorkshire landscape, these large-scale works have been created especially for the galleries at the Royal Academy of Arts.

'David Hockney: A Bigger Picture' will span a 50 year period to demonstrate Hockney’s long exploration and fascination with the depiction of landscape.

The exhibition will include a display of his iPad drawings and a series of new films produced using 18 cameras, which will be displayed on multiple screens and which will provide a spellbinding visual journey through the eyes of David Hockney.
