David Hockney: A Bigger Exhibition (October 26, 2013-January 20, 2014) marks the return of
the celebrated British artist to California with an exhibition assembled
exclusively for the de Young. Expansive in scope and monumental in scale, this
show is the first comprehensive survey of his 21st-century work and represents
one of the most prolific decades of his career. Renowned for his use of
traditional media as well as evolving technologies, Hockney has selected
monumental paintings, Photoshop portraits, digital films that track the
changing seasons, vivid landscapes created using the iPad, as well as
never-before-exhibited charcoal drawings and paintings completed in 2013.
Large-scale, multi-canvas oil paintings and digital movies
shot with multiple cameras, some requiring as many as 18 monitors for their
display, portray Hockney’s beloved England. His unique perspectives of
California, Iceland, and Norway are also presented, including iPad drawings of
Yosemite. The portraits, central to Hockney’s practice since his youth, depict
friends, colleagues, and family members, and provide a glimpse of the artist’s
personal and intimate relationships with his sitters. This first comprehensive
showing of Hockney’s diverse output since 2002 includes a new series
documenting the arrival of spring in 2013 and reveals the artist at the peak of
his creative powers.
