David Hockney has always been a playful artist and a geek, and both qualities are present in these latest 'Photoshopped' portraits and landscapes. Produced using a graphic tablet and stylus, Hockney has created a series of images, some drawn and some a mix of drawing and photography.
Vibrant portraits feature many of the usual suspects among Hockney’s family, friends and assistants, and beautiful landscapes capture the Yorkshire he so often references. Stunning, punchy, candid and expressive - these new pieces are unmistakable Hockney at his best - 'Pop-art' daubs, swirls and all!
“They exist either in the computer or on a piece of paper; they were made for printing, and so will be printed. They are not photographic reproductions.” David Hockney
