David Hockney uses the technique
of taking lots of photos of the same things from loads of different heights and
angles. At first glance they almost look like paintings because the technique
of distorting is quite unusual. This image in particular is an example of how
landscapes can look different but still familiar even if they have a strong
style. The piece being made from lots of close ups makes me think that Hockney
wants his audience to look closer at their surroundings. This piece works so
well for that reason and shooting the pictures from so close up allows the
artist to have maximum detail into the landscape. My favourite part of the
piece is the contrast between the sky which looks really smooth and the rough
stones and rubbish at the side of the road. The road its self is shown in a way
which makes you feel like you’re laying in the road. Hockney may have created
this by lying in the road himself for this part of his work.
