 MUST-SEE ART FILMS on-screen at the cinema

DAVID HOCKNEY

AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS: A BIGGER PICTURE 2012 & 82 PORTRAITS AND ONE STILL LIFE 2016

Directed by Phil Grabsky and presented by Tim Marlow

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN

Fri 4 May 10.30am

Sat 5 May 4pm

David Hockney is Britain’s most popular artist and arguably equally popular around the globe. Now entering his 9th decade, he shows absolutely no evidence of slowing down or losing any of his enthusiasm and verve.

This intimate, revealing film focuses on this later work – essentially two major (and hugely successful) shows held in 2012 and 2016 at the Royal Academy of Art in London.

Director Phil Grabsky secured privileged access to the shows and has crafted a film that, while simple in structure, is multi-layered in offering a wonderful exploration of this master of creativity.




about EXHIBITION ON SCREEN...

Working with top international museums and galleries, EXHIBITION ON SCREEN create films which offer a cinematic immersion into the world’s best loved art, accompanied by insights from the world’s leading historians and arts critics
