David Hockney – Immersive Experience, ‘Bigger & Closer (Not smaller & further away)

This includes his photography methods and use of an iPad, amongst other techniques to create the pieces on display. This immersive, narrated exploration spans across a duration of approximately 45-minutes and will be divided into six sections, each of which adhere to a specific theme, including classic Hockney works of the past alongside newly created pieces, made with this exhibition in mind. Attendees will be swept away to the blazing heat of Los Angeles, to the cobbled streets of Yorkshire, to the quaint back roads of Normandy, spread across six-decades, acting not only as an artistic exploration of his works, but a partial biography of Hockney’s life and career, over the years and across continents.

Lightroom, the new four-storey space in London’s Kings Cross, has been explicitly designed to be an immersive art-space, with state-of-the-art projection and audio technology. The gallery will officially open besides the start of the exhibition, where Hockney will be the first artist to utilise and embrace this space. London is no stranger to immersive art experiences, giving great justification to the opening of this style of space. Last year’s ‘Van Gogh Alive’ was extended due to overwhelming demand, spanning across more than one year in the capital.

The Morgan Stanley historical art exhibition recently featured Van Gogh's Self-Portraits, one of the Courtauld house's proudest collections.

Van Gogh's arguably best painting, The self-portrait with Bandaged Ears, was the exhibition's theme portrait.

Located in the heart of Coal Drops Yard, an urban, metropolitan hub for food, shopping and culture, the Lightroom is just a stone’s throw from Kings Cross station – a highly accessible location by all means of public transport. Having opened in 2018, Coal Drops Yard remains to be a contemporary retail destination which now includes roughly 50 stores and restaurants and is frequently the home of many pop-up shops or installations. With the Regents Canal lining one side of the renovated Victorian architecture, combined with a largely modern twist and feeling of vibrancy, the Lightroom is in great company, where visitors can enjoy a vast array of restaurants and boutique shopping as well as engaging submersing themselves within Hockney’s art.

It is rare for a living artist to be met with such acclaim, where Hockney is perhaps one of the few exceptions to this. It could be said that this exhibition is part-gallery, part-interactive, part-sensory and part-documentary. Self-spoken commentary by the artist is not easy to come by, and who better to guide us through some of the most classic artworks of our time than Hockney himself?

Whilst it perhaps comes as no surprise that Hockney is utilising technology as a form of expression, ‘Bigger & Closer (Not smaller & further way) is something you won’t want to miss.

The Milk of Dreams' major exhibitions was held at the Arsenale and the Central Pavilion in the Giardini, Venice.  

However, the curator also allowed some Biennale affiliates to host a series of supporting exhibitions around Venice featuring works portraying three main Biennale sub-themes; idea of metamorphosis; individuals and technology relationship; and our relationship with our surroundings and the planet—with 19th 20th and 21st Century historical contexts. 

Whilst it perhaps comes as no surprise that Hockney is utilising technology as a form of expression, ‘Bigger & Closer (Not smaller & further way) is something you won’t want to miss. It is quintessentially Hockney: a predecessor of digital art, who undeniably demonstrates technological progression throughout the past few decades through his work, whether it be via computers, iPads or his smartphone. Vivid projections and second-to-none audio therefore are seamless to his identity as an artist. 

For over a decade, Hockney has used the iPad as an artistic tool, using a stylus before the introduction of the Apple Pencil. He even released a book entitled ‘My Window’ in 2020, displaying a collection of his iPhone and iPad drawings. The works in this book, and in his upcoming exhibition, are notoriously Hockney. With blazing colours and an emphasis on nature, a largely modern and textured image is produced in every instance, far exceeding the expectations of what an iPad would be able to produce in an artistic sense. When being asked about this process, Hockney has frequently complimented the iPad as a great source of backlighting, as well as the fact that he can draw wherever he likes at whatever time he wishes without the burden of plentiful equipment or the presence of daylight.
