The Bigger, the Better!
David Hockney RA has this year completed the largest painting of his career – ‘Bigger Trees Near Water’, a 40 foot by 15 foot masterpiece, it is made up of 50 smaller canvases, placed carefully side by side. This giant painting, depicting a scenic British countryside landscape, is the ideal way to feel involved in a piece of art – when standing in front of it, you cannot help but feel a part of it.
Hockney used digital computer technology to bring the image together and plan where canvases would go, and what they would contain. The painting itself had to be executed over a busy three week period. |
