Show and ticket information for David Hockney - Bigger & Closer (not Smaller & Further Away) exhibition at Lightroom, Outer London.

Using large-scale projection in a remarkable new space, David Hockney takes us on a personal journey through sixty years of his art. In a cycle of six themed chapters, with a specially composed score by Nico Muhly and a commentary by the artist himself, Hockney reveals his process to us. His voice is in our ears as we watch him experimenting with perspective, using photography as a way of 'drawing with a camera', capturing the passing of time in his polaroid collages and the joy of spring on his iPad, and showing us why only paint can properly convey the hugeness of the Grand Canyon. We join him on his audio-visual Wagner Drive, roaring up into the San Gabriel Mountains, and into the opera house by means of animated re-creations of his stage designs.
