Jump into David Hockney’s artwork this winter and enjoy a night out with a difference. Narrated by the artist, the show uses 360-degree projections and an epic score composed by Nico Muhly to put you at the centre of Hockney’s world.

From the shimmering swimming pools of Los Angeles to the blossoming of Spring in Normandy, David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) takes you on a journey through sixty years of Hockney's best loved pieces.

In a cycle of six themed chapters, with a specially composed score and a commentary by the artist himself, Hockney reveals his creative process. 

His voice is in the ears of audiences as they 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 why only paint can properly convey the hugeness of the Grand Canyon.

Suitable for all ages, tickets start from £10. Book via the Factory International website: https://factoryinternational.org/whats-on/david-hockney-bigger-and-closer/
