A Bigger Picture - joyous, vivid and full of life. A collection of drawings, large scale paintings, ipad sketches and film to take your breath away.
It's easy to forget that you are in the centre of London as you walk around the packed rooms of the Royal Academy. Hockney has captured his beloved Yorkshire in all its seasonal glory, the brightest greens and hot pinks clashing with violet and turquoise to bring the landscapes to eye-popping life. He fills the canvas with daubs, long strokes and scratches made with the end of his brush. This is nature captured by an artist who loves his surroundings. A feel-great collection of works that will keep Mr. Hockney at the top of the list for a very long time to come.
