David Hockney RA: A Bigger Picture

David Hockney RA: A Bigger Picture

In works made from observation, from memory and imagination, and with the assistance of visual and technological aids, Hockney's virtuosity across a variety of media and his consistently innovative approach to image-making enable him powerfully to evoke landscape and space – the 'bigger picture'.

I was so excited to see the fascinate exhibition- 'David Hockney RA: A Bigger Picture' in Royal Academy of Art.

His extremely fresh and lovely colour in artist's depiction of landscape evoked the feeling of pleasant. He portrayed a particular area of his feelings about jumping sense of color and rhythm of the nature beauty. His artworks are so vibrant and fresh.

Differences between German and Chinese

‘Difference between German and Chinese’ - Liu Yang

This is an ingenious artwork of designer Yang Liu‘s  East Meets West infographic series, some of which deals with the fascinating cultural differences between Eastern and Western mentality - from the individualistic tendencies of the West versus the pluralism of Asian societies, to how differently Westerners and Easterners read the emotions of others.

This infographic design tackled everything from differences in self-perception to evolution of transportation.

The form of infographic design influenced me to use minimalism in graphics to represent my project.
