David Hockney – Girl Who Would be KING on Life, Style and INSPIRATION.

Do you see what I see?

Perspective is the way we look at something, and since we’re all unique, we all view things differently. So I’m not sure that you see what I see or if it’s even reasonable to think that you should. What does the artist intend for us to see is the question. I love the beauty, the simplicity and the complexity of each and every Hockney work of art. His work often explores themes of light, space, and the everyday moments of life.

David Hockney is a renowned English painter, draughtsman, printmaker, stage designer, and photographer. Born on July 9, 1937, in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. He is also known for his contributions to the pop art movement of the 1960s and his innovative use of color and perspective.

The exhibition highlights Hockney’s lifelong experiments with non-traditional perspectives for depicting the world and foregrounds his early interest in expressing his identity as a gay man.

David Hockney: Perspective Should Be Reversed presents a wide body of works produced during a six-decade-long career. It features nearly 200 of the artist’s works in a variety of media, including prints, collages, photographs, iPhone as well as iPad drawings.

He changed my perspective on how I see art. I would not have previously considered creating art with a simple iPhone or iPad as Art. Quite amazing actually. It’s just a different medium and not so simple for just anyone.
