British artist David Hockney’s paintings are on display in Türkiye for the first time
. They are prints of paintings created on a custom-made iPad app that a programmer developed for the artist, now 84.
“Some critics in London, who were intimately knowledgeable about Hockney’s traditional work, criticised the iPad paintings, while many others saw it as a magnificent innovation,” Olcer tells“People seem to have forgotten that when photography was first invented, similar ‘issues’ arose. The invention of photography offered 19th century artists an incredible opportunity to quickly make a portrait of a sitter whereas a formal painted portrait would have required hours.
“Like everything, he picks it up then he uses something else: so he goes back to drawing, goes back to working with inks, he goes back to painting.”Devaney says Hockney had an app specially developed for him for the iPad paintings he did in Normandy where he had gone to capture spring in 2020, and his time there coincided with the global lockdown.
She also points out that the iPad is portable which allowed Hockney to move around in the garden, find a different scene, sometimes work sitting on a chair looking at the scene, sometimes work inside a Jeep that he’d drive around. “So it gave him that flexibility.”
