Exploring "David Hockney: Pieced Together" at the Science and Media Museum, Bradford

The "David Hockney: Pieced Together" exhibition at the Science and Media Museum in Bradford offers the chance to see his artistic journey through a range of works, ranging from photographic collages, to video installations. This exhibition enables the viewer to see first hand Hockney's multifaceted approach to art, in particular exploring nature subject matter, and combining traditional techniques with modern technology.

The Four Seasons: Woldgate Woods

A notable piece of the exhibition is the series titled "The Four Seasons: Woldgate Woods." Displayed on multiple TV screens, these digital displays capture the transformative beauty of nature through the changing seasons, highlighting Hockney's deep connection to East Yorkshire landscapes.

My Mother, Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire

Another notable piece is "My Mother, Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire," in which Hockney's mother is a central figure of the piece, in which Hockney had taken multiple photos and spliced them together in a collage, evoking a sense of energy and liveliness. This piece, alongside others, demonstrates how Hockney's art is often connected to his own life experiences.

This is something, having seen his work previously, I have taken inspiration from, combining elements of photography and the digital together.

Visitors can engage with the exhibition through various multimedia installations, including video displays that offer insights into Hockney's creative process. This interactive aspect enriches the viewing experience, allowing audiences to see not just the final artworks, but the journey behind them.

Overall

"David Hockney: Pieced Together" is a highly engaging and interesting exhibition, enabling the viewer the chance to see a range of works by Hockney, including his photo collages, as well as a video alongside showcasing the process he utilised to achieve them. The interactive digital installation "The Four Seasons: Woldgate Woods" is captivating for the viewer, due to the scale, and the ability to simultaneously see the different seasons play out at once.

In addition to the nature subject matter, it was also useful seeing his 'spliced-photography collages' in person, as this is something I have previously taken inspiration from.

‘#1 Tim Peake You’re Home’ I have finally managed to paint this image of the space craft that brought Tim Peake safely back home to Earth.
