Existing and Local Artists I admire

The first artist that I would like to look at is the local artist David Hockney I particularly like his joiner photographs. The idea that I would be taking from the Hockney Joiner photographs would be to join different pictures together to give a bigger picture.

This is the first image that I have looked at by the artist David Hockey. The first thing that interests me to him apart from his unique style is the fact he’s a local artist to the Bradford area. The picture above “My Mother” was taken in the surrounding area of Bolton Abbey in 1982 (which is 5miles from Steeton and Silsden). Looking in closer detail at the picture shows me how much more detail the artist has managed to capture by using this “joiner” technique, vast amounts more detail than just a single snap shot. This signifies to me that he’s trying to show that every picture has a its on part to play in the overall story, or effect of the artwork. I love the way the artist has covered over the face of the women with more photo’s signifying that there could be more expressions under the other pictures
