DAVID HOCKNEY

January 16, 2017

You can't really help but think of David Hockney as the millennial's impressionist - digital brushstrokes gentle yet purposeful, blown up to large scale proportions, colour shrouding the viewer as you take a stroll through the gallery like it's some MS Paint forest. The intersection of nature and our current technological age takes prevalence in Hockney's work, a good-natured nod to the simple, observant sensibilities of someone who hasn't necessarily grown up with the wonders of the iThis and iThat - but is nonetheless excited and curious about the possibilities they present. He takes care to examine his own artistic process, playing with mediums and different formats when presenting his work - the lines between WIP and final artwork are blurred, as screens throughout the gallery play looping videos of his work being created stroke-by-stroke.

SEEKING COMMON GROUND

November 7, 2016

While everyone's frothing over the NGV's current Viktor&Rolf exhibition (as they rightly should be), let's not forget that those of us running low on coin can still enjoy the free charms the establishment has to offer.

Cue Common Ground - a modern medley of contemporary artworks from the NGV's permanent collection, spanning across all types of artistic mediums and united thematically in categories like "anthopomorphism" and "time". The unique layout of the exhibition space alone is enough to pique gallery-goer curiosity - and make sure you take a closer look at the Tracey Emin neon piece; it's backstory is not one to be missed.
