David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away)

Dive into our David Hockney-inspired collection, featuring works from Rise Art artists that incite as much joy and awe as the contemporary art giant himself.

One of the most popular and influential British artists of the 20th century, Hockney played an enormous part in the Pop Art movement. With a career spanning over 60 years, Hockney has become a global art celebrity. Fascinated with new media, linear and non-linear perspectives, Naturalism, and colour theory, the confessed rule-breaker experimented with painting, drawing, printmaking, watercolours, photography, and then other miscellaneous and most-unexpected materials, including a fax machine, paper pulp, computer applications and iPad drawing programs.

“The world is very, very beautiful if you look at it, but most people don’t look very much. They scan the ground in front of them so they can walk, they don’t really look at things incredibly well, with an intensity. I do.” - David Hockney David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away)

Immerse yourself in worlds, works, and philosophies of Hockney, by means of animated re-creations of his stellar stage designs, paintings, and prints.
