Piccadilly Circus station has recently been 'adorned' by this new 'artwork' by no less than David Hockney. Its on an electronic display on one landing. The same image is also displayed going up one escalator shaft, but alternating with adverts.
I do recall how Mr Hockney used to work in the old fashioned medium of oil paint. He managed to produce a number of paintings that are definitely recognisible as 'art'. I'm not sure what this is, though at least he apparently wasn't paid for it!

And the Mayor thinks its 'brilliant' - though possibly he used to say that when his children came home from school with something similar....

29/01/2023 : Aix-en-Provence, place Saint-Jean-de-Malte, musée Granet : exposition David Hockney, collection de la Tate (du 28 janvier au 28 mai 2023)
In the Studio, December 2017 (dessin photographique imprimé sur 7 feuilles de papier, monté sur Dibond, 278 x 760 cm, assisté de Jonathan Wilkinson, 2017)
David Hockney (b.1937) - Portrait of an artist (Pool with two figures) (1972). In the collection of the YAGEO Foundation, Taiwan. Shown at the temporary exhibition "David Hockney 25" at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, April-August 2025.
Collage made from nine consecutive frames taken with the Agat 18k half-frame camera that I first used in week 25 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:
Kodak ColorPlus 200 film developed in Tetenal C41 kit.
In the photography class I take at school we were assigned to do an outrageous project. Originally I had no idea what to do and I finally decided to do something like the works of David Hockney. It's not that outrageous but I like it. I hope to do more Hockney styled projects in the future, even if it's for my own fun.
I originally took almost 70 pictures but I only used around 50-55 pictures. This is not photoshop (it doesn't even look it) this is actual paper (I used a good 140 pieces in total, lots of pictures were repeated). I wish I took more different ones of the other side of the boats on the right, tree on the left corner, the water, etc etc.
Looks much better here!

David Hockney's painting of Salt's Mill in Saltaire, Shipley, Bradford where we spent a few hours visiting exhibitions and doing some shopping after lunch.
A composite image made up from two photos taken from the same spot, each using a different film camera. The individual photos have been collaged in photoshop.
In this case the cameras were: Olympus XA4 and Minolta Riva Zoom 150.
The Royal Academy of Arts presents the first major exhibition of new landscape works by David Hockney RA from January 21 to April 9, 2012. Featuring vivid paintings inspired by the East Yorkshire landscape, these large-scale works have been created especially for the galleries at the Royal Academy of Arts. 'David Hockney RA: A Bigger Picture' spans a 50 year period to demonstrate Hockney’s long exploration and fascination with the depiction of landscape. The exhibition includes a display of his iPad drawings and a series of new films produced using 18 cameras, which are displayed on multiple screens and provide a spellbinding visual journey through the eyes of David Hockney.

All proceeds from this artwork will go towards The Lilith Fund and the National Network of Abortion Funds. I created this piece in an altered book, scratching the words through a layer of black paint and into the oil pastel below. Reproductive justice for everyone with a uterus.

The 'Queen's window' in the north transept by David Hockney installed in 2018. When I first heard that Hockney was preparing a design for a new window at the Abbey I was excited, knowing that this great painter and colourist was capable of creating something good (I even mentioned eagerly anticipating this window in the final paragraph of my book 'Stained Glass' published at the same time, a comment that I have regretted ever since). What we got instead was a quick sketch on an ipad that he apparently spent about 20 minutes on, giving us a splash of flat colour suggesting a Yorkshire landscape (because it was familiar to him, but nothing to do with the brief commemorating the Queen's reign) populated by false teeth, yellow seaweed and a river of blood!
Hockney's ipad sketch was lauded by some as a revolutionary new approach making use of new technology for an ancient medium in a ancient church. The fact that such an important architectural setting was disregarded (Hockney didn't even visit the setting until after the window was installed) and treated with such flippancy was ignored because after all he is famous and a brand name the Abbey was willing to welcome whatever the consequences (the cult of celebrity after all has always been rather a strong theme here). I dare say any practicing stained glass artist more familiar with how to use the medium would not have been granted such a carte blanche in such a venerable setting, but then as a Royal Peculiar the usual vetting processes and restrictions for new artworks likely don't apply. If one wants to see how contemporary stained glass can make a bold and dramatic statement while working with the architecture one should compare Graham Jones's window in the south transept (a pity he wasn't called back, but then unlike Hockney he isn't a household name). Being a celebrity artist is quite empowering.

Westminster Abbey is perhaps the most significant church in English History, site of the coronation of monarchs since it was founded by Edward the Confessor, and burial place of the majority of them, along with many other historical figures of note. It is first and foremost a superlative work of medieval architecture, from its soaring 13th-14th century nave, transepts and choir (all in a curiously French inspired version of Decorated Gothic) to the masterpiece of English Perpendicular, the incredibly lacy fan-vaulted Henry VII's chapel at the east end.
The Abbey is also a treasure house of ecclesiastical art, most of it monumental sculpture on the numerous tombs and effigies of almost every date ranging from the entire medieval period through to the 20th century; a somewhat cluttered interior, crammed full of interest, there is simply nothing else quite like it, no other church contains so many monuments.
The Abbey's monastic ranges partially survive, most notably the cloisters and superb chapter house; a short summary of the Abbey's riches is simply impossible. The monastery itself was shut down during the Dissolution, after which the Abbey briefly became a cathedral until its diocesan rank was revoked merely a decade later. Today it is designated a 'Royal Peculiar' owing to its unique status.
The Abbey is a textbook in stone of British history, and thus a hugely popular tourist attraction. It currently has more limited opening hours in the post-Covid recovery period and entry is not cheap, but happily after decades of a strict prohibition against photographers the rules have now been relaxed at last and visitors are now welcome to fully enjoy this marvellous building with their cameras!

Dedicated, with gratitude, to Ben Ledbetter, Architect, who pushed me to juice this up.
Note: This is an altered version of my earlier "Hockney Gets Some Visitors, 2009," (see: www.flickr.com/photos/walford/3780354034/ ) , itself a second version of the original photograph, "Hockney Revisited," taken on site (see: www.flickr.com/photos/walford/3772168681/ ), with a mirrored Self-Portrait, inserted at the suggestion of Ben Ledbetter, Architect. Thanks, Ben, for the excellent suggestion.
Motivated to push this even further, I have now added the raven, as well as the fallen warrior, by Henry Moore, from the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, DC.
The Modern Wing, The Art Institute, Chicago. With thanks, again, to Mr. & Mrs. Weiss, of St. Louis, MO.
(Note: The self-portrait is mirrored in an art deco mirror, also in the collection of the Art Institute, Chicago, but can only be seen when viewing large, on black. Apologies, also, for knocking Henry Moore's represented sculpture off its pedestal! - Just attribute it's demotion to British class struggles!). In this, second, revised version, I have tipped the hat back to Henry Moore, by adding his "Falling Warrior," 1956-57, found in various collections, including that of the Art Institute, Chicago. This is the version from the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, DC.
**The mirror with the almost invisible self-portrait, is now also posted, immediately below, see: www.flickr.com/photos/walford/3781269893/
"I live in bohemia and bohemia is a tolerant place."- David Hockney ・・・ #Repost @artdeskmagazine with @repostapp. Filmmaker Randall Wright celebrates David Hockney, one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century pop art movement in a quirky film with never-before-seen footage.

I once met David Hockny...It was in Stowe, Vermont where he stayed in the house of my then relative by marriage that where also his art dealers in north America at that time... when I first saw him, he was in his underwear's which made the whole moment so human and silly...you know meeting the great master...It was almost twenty years ago and I remember he was a shy man also after he got his trousers on... I got an autographed book from him at that weekend...
David Hockney is one of the greatest English painters of the 20th century. This is the only painting of his which I can characterize as abstract expressionism.
Don't miss the chance to see director Randall Wright's, "Hockney" playing this Thursday ONLY! Well known for his pop style paintings indicative of California, David Hockney certainly made a name for himself among the 20th century art community. Although his art paid homage to the glamorous, his personal life was often tumultuous along with his deteriorating health. Filled with candid footage and touching interviews, "Hockney" shows the man behind the art at his highest and lowest as he approaches his eightieth year. #davidhockney #okcmoa || Showtimes are 5:30 and 8 pm Thursday, May 26 | Copy and paste link for details: ift.tt/1WKQGiw
