My Exemplar: David Hockney (b.1937)

​Point Loma Hockneyesque Multipal Point Perspective Painting

Picture
Point Loma, this painting is after Hockney's Mulholland Drive.  Similar to the Hockney, this painting has multiple perspectives in one picture frame and has  loose brushstrokes, free and vibrant color, and it is California, a favorite theme of Hockney's in the 1980s to 90s. All of these source images came from Google Maps; Google did not exist back then but with his embrace of tech in the last few years I think he would have. ​

​Boy in the Hat Hockneyesque   
​“Joiners” Photo Collage

​This image, Boy in the Hat, is in the style of Hockney's multiple perspective photo collages where he used multiple photos to create a large image that represented the image. This is clearly where Picasso's analytical cubism influenced Hockney's MSR (Method, Subject & Reason).

​Torrey Pines Hockneyesque  
​ Ipad painting with Layers App

"Hockneyesque" Ipad painting using the Layers app enables quick and easy plein air painting in day light or at night. This use of technology is Hockney's equivalent to the Renaissance and Baroque painters use of the camera obscura. This is my interpretation of his style.    ​

Example of an artist page. Images & Description. This took me 3 weeks, and I have been doing this for 30 years.
