David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) is an immersive visual experience that invites audiences inside the mind of one of the most influential artists of our time. Brought to Singapore in collaboration with Lightroom London, the show explores how David Hockney has continually challenged the way we see the world, across painting, photography, drawing, and digital media.
Through large-scale projections, layered sound, and dynamic spatial design, audiences are guided through Hockney’s creative process, from his early experiments with perspective to his bold use of colour and new technologies. Rather than a traditional biography, the experience focuses on seeing how scale, proximity, and attention transform everyday moments into something extraordinary.
