A Bigger Landscape\n<\/h2>\n\n
\n

David Hockney returned to Great Britain in 2005. The wind and weather there awakened his interest in the seasons of the year. He began depicting the awakening of nature in monumental paintings or on his iPad.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

From 2005 onwards the landscape around Bridlington shifted to the centre of Hockney\u2019s art. The village is in Yorkshire, where the artist grew up. His mother also lived in Bridlington, and he owned a studio there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas in California the sun was almost always shining and the temperatures very mild the whole year through, life in Great Britain is marked by the changing seasons and by wind and weather. David Hockney is captivated by the changes in nature. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

For this work, Hockney travelled in a pickup and with his assistant to Warter so as to paint on site over a period of three weeks. The artist could only work simultaneously on six canvases outdoors, and in his studio in Bridlington he could only observe a maximum of ten of the 50 canvases that make up this work at one time. For which reason he used a computer to verify whether the different images fit together and to record the painting\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
