London: Hockney goes big

Spanning past work in conventional media (watercolors and outdoor oils) and more adventurous creations (big-canvas oils and drawings done on an iPad), moving from expansive views of the Grand Canyon and the Hollywood Hills to studies of the Yorkshire countryside, the David Hockney exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London is a marvel. For Martin Gayford, “the boldness and panache of the total ensemble” makes for an “exhilarating” experience. See Art
