It was a revelation after watching an interesting program on David Hockney. A humbling experience. His dedication to his Art, his pursuit of his vision and his creativity, are all inspiring for other creatives. Over his career, it is remarkable he has shown the picture plane to hold an infinite depth. Within it’s apparent constraints, a play between the viewer, the space was explored. The traditional medium of painting played in this limitless space. In a culture that is slave to the immediate image, force fed the fast food of the spectacular, that numbs the senses, where an ever greater dopamine hit is required, there seems no compromise with the space which Hockney’s work creates. I find myself having to raise my game, to put aside my visual laziness, and baggage. Off I go now to have a look at his drawings, particularly Arrival of Spring 2013.
