David Hockney In The Studio, December 2017 For Sale

Edition

Edition of 25

Hockney is striving for a groundbreaking approach to portraying three-dimensional space on a flat canvas, a pursuit that has occupied his artistic exploration since his early days as a painter. His fascination with this challenge has only intensified with his ventures into photography, where he delved into the intricacies of lens-aided composition and perspective. In the 1980s, Hockney created a series of expansive and lively photo collages, constructing cohesive scenes from numerous subtly altering views captured over time. The current "photographic drawings" represent a revisiting of these concepts, characterized by a more elevated conceptual framework and advanced technology, albeit lacking the same freshness as his earlier works.
