This January David Hockney opened his latest exhibition, A Bigger Picture, at The Royal Academy in London. In a short interview on their website, he stresses that it's not a retrospective, and without it many of the pieces would never have been done in the scale they are seen on the Acadmey's walls today. The Yorkshire landscapes are quite beautiful, some using technicolor combinations, and some as simple charcoal sketches. The show also includes Hockney's iPad drawings and a selection of new films. I was lucky enough to see it on my last afternoon in London, and it's well worth a look if you're in town.
