The exhibition "David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away)" grand opening at the West Bund Museum in Shanghai
2025年4月29日，20世紀和21世紀最有影響力的當代藝術(shù)家大衛(wèi)·霍克尼首個沉浸式藝術(shù)展《大衛(wèi) · 霍克尼：更大，更近 （當然不是更小更遠）》將在上海西岸美術(shù)館隆重開幕。這場展覽由霍克尼本人及團隊歷時三年親自參與創(chuàng)作與監(jiān)制，是迄今為止藝術(shù)家借由數(shù)字媒介所進行的一次最大規(guī)模的藝術(shù)探索。
大衛(wèi)·霍克尼不僅畫出了20世紀最具標志性的圖像，也是一位把畫畫當作視覺實驗室的藝術(shù)家。他研究光學儀器對西方繪畫的影響，并通過攝影拼貼、傳真機、數(shù)碼繪畫（如iPad和iPhone繪畫）和多屏沉浸式裝置重新定義了我們?nèi)绾巍翱匆姟笔澜缗c圖像。他不僅以開放的姿態(tài)擁抱新技術(shù)，也將技術(shù)內(nèi)化為繪畫性表達的一部分。這次展覽正是對他所探索的多重視覺經(jīng)驗的集中呈現(xiàn)。
本次展覽并非簡單的作品回顧，而是一次充滿生命力的再創(chuàng)造——藝術(shù)家的標志性畫作將在沉浸式的空間中煥發(fā)新生，未曾公開的創(chuàng)作以數(shù)字媒體的面貌首次呈現(xiàn)。在這里，觀眾將走進霍克尼的視覺宇宙，感受他如何以數(shù)字化的筆觸重新詮釋自然、空間與感知。水波的蕩漾、四季的更迭、加州陽光的躍動，都在光影的交織中變得更加鮮活。

April 29, 2025, Shanghai – The West Bund Museum will unveil an unprecedented artistic experience: David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away), the first immersive digital exhibition by contemporary art master David Hockney. Co-created and overseen by Hockney himself over three years, the exhibition showcases his latest explorations in digital mediums, marking one of the artist’s most experimental ventures to date.
David Hockney not only created some of the 20th century’s most iconic images but has also transformed painting into a visual laboratory. He has explored how optical tools shaped Western art and redefined our ways of "seeing" the world and imagery through innovations like photographic collages, fax machines, digital paintings (including iPad and iPhone works), and multi-screen immersive installations. Openly embracing new technologies, he integrates them into the very fabric of painterly expression. This exhibition crystallizes his lifelong investigation into the multiplicity of visual experience.
Far from a conventional retrospective, the show is a vibrant reinvention—Hockney’s signature works are reanimated in immersive environments, while never-before-seen creations emerge through digital media. Visitors will step into Hockney’s visual cosmos, witnessing how his digital brushstrokes reinterpret nature, space, and perception. The dance of water ripples, the morphing of seasons, and the pulsating Californian sunlight gain new vitality through dynamic interplay of light and shadow.
Presented by OUTPUT in collaboration with London’s Lightroom and 59 Studio, the exhibition will run from April 29 to November 30, 2025, at the West Bund Museum’s Creativity Gallery. Here, Hockney’s lifelong experimentation with new media unfolds in full force, inviting audiences to rediscover and reimagine the world through his visionary lens.
展覽分為六大主題章節(jié)，配以尼科 · 穆利（Nico Muhly）特別創(chuàng)作的音樂，配以霍克尼的親自解說，為觀眾揭開他六十載創(chuàng)作生涯背后的故事與思考。觀眾將跟隨霍克尼的講解，深入了解他如何打破常規(guī)進行透視實驗、如何將攝影作為一種“用相機繪畫”的方式，用寶麗來拼貼捕捉時間流逝、用iPad描繪春天的生機勃勃，以及為何唯有油畫才能淋漓盡致地展現(xiàn)大峽谷的壯麗與震撼。此外，展覽還將通過沉浸式視聽體驗，帶領(lǐng)觀眾與霍克尼一同踏上《瓦格納大道（The Wagner Drive）》，穿越圣加布里埃爾山脈；甚至進入用動畫技術(shù)重現(xiàn)的歌劇院舞臺設(shè)計，感受霍克尼對歌劇藝術(shù)的獨特詮釋。
In a cycle of six themed chapters, with a specially composed score by Nico Muhly and a commentary by the artist himself, Hockney reveals his process to us. We hear his voice as we 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. He shows us why only paint can properly convey the hugeness of the Grand Canyon. We join him on his audio-visual Wagner Drive, roaring up into the San Gabriel Mountains, and go into the opera house by means of animated re-creations of his stage designs.
從洛杉磯到約克郡，再到如今的諾曼底，這場展覽為觀眾提供了前所未有的機會，近距離感受這位藝術(shù)界廣受歡迎的天才——他依然在創(chuàng)新，依然在創(chuàng)造美與震撼。
From LA to Yorkshire to Normandy, the show is an unprecedented opportunity to spend time in the presence of one of the great popular geniuses of the art world - still innovating, still creating beauty and awe.
“如果你仔細觀察，世界其實非常非常美麗，但大多數(shù)人并不常去留心。他們只是匆匆掃視腳下的路，并沒有真正投入地、細致入微地觀察事物。而我，會這樣去做?！?/i>
—— 大衛(wèi) · 霍克尼，《大衛(wèi) · 霍克尼：更大，更近 （當然不是更小更遠）》原聲帶中的一段話
"The world is very very beautiful if you look at it, but most people don't look very much. They scan the ground in front of them so they can walk, they don't really look at things incredibly well, with an intensity. I do."
David Hockney, from the soundtrack of 'Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away)'
大衛(wèi) · 霍克尼與中國頗有淵源。早年，霍克尼曾經(jīng)親訪中國，并將旅行經(jīng)歷整理成系列作品《中國日記》。在他的創(chuàng)作和研究中，中國傳統(tǒng)繪畫也啟發(fā)了他的「反透視」觀念。他融入了中國畫中的「移步換景」和「散點透視」理念， 并看到了另一種視覺智慧：繪畫亦是關(guān)于心理的空間體驗，中國的山水與文人畫，許多時候畫的是經(jīng)驗，而非圖像，是主觀時間，而非靜止風景。在這次展覽中，霍克尼不僅以數(shù)字化的筆觸重新詮釋自然、空間與感知，也潛在邀請著一種中國繪畫精神里的游目騁懷。
本次展覽由大衛(wèi)·霍克尼及其團隊，共同攜手Lightroom團隊及59 Studio團隊歷時三年傾心打造，是迄今為止藝術(shù)家首個以數(shù)字媒介呈現(xiàn)的回顧展。該展覽由59 Studio的馬克·格里默（Mark Grimmer）執(zhí)導。自2023年2月在倫敦Lightroom首演以來，《更大，更近 （當然不是更小更遠）》已在英國倫敦、曼徹斯特、韓國首爾展出，受到國際觀眾的廣泛好評，并獲得并獲《泰晤士報》、《獨立報》及《觀察家報》等權(quán)威媒體高度贊譽。如今，這部精彩的作品首次登陸中國。OUTPUT受藝術(shù)家及Lightroom委托，將本次展覽獨家引入中國。展覽還將在中國其他城市巡回展出，讓更多觀眾通過霍克尼的視角感受世界——這將是一場震撼又充滿全新視角的的視聽盛宴。
The artist has a deep connection with China. In his early years, Hockney visited China and compiled his travel experiences into a series titled "China Diary." In his own artistic creations which followed, he introduced the concepts of "shifting perspectives" and "scattered-point perspective" from Chinese painting, offering a fresh visual experience. This show is the result of three years of creative work by David Hockney and his team alongside the teams at Lightroom and 59 Studio, and marks the artist's first retrospective presented through digital media.
The show was directed by Mark Grimmer of 59 Studio. Since debuting in London’s Lightroom in February 2023, Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) has also been shown in Manchester, UK, and Seoul in South Korea. It has been widely acclaimed by international audiences and highly praised by authoritative media outlets such as The Times, The Independent and The Observer. Now, this amazing work, is being presented in China for the first time. OUTPUT is exclusively introducing the exhibition to China with the co-operation of the artist and Lightroom. The exhibition will tour to other cities in China, allowing more audiences to experience the world through Hockney’s eyes -an experience that is visually astonishing, alive with sound and rich in new perspectives.
關(guān)于藝術(shù)家
大衛(wèi) · 霍克尼（David Hockney）在國際藝術(shù)界前沿已經(jīng)活躍超過六十年。他在1960年代初期嶄露頭角，成為英國新一代的杰出天才藝術(shù)家代表之一。在他極其豐富高產(chǎn)的藝術(shù)生涯中，霍克尼始終保持著無盡的創(chuàng)造力，用藝術(shù)贊頌他所見的世界。
霍克尼對多種形式的藝術(shù)表現(xiàn)語言深感著迷。他不僅深入研究中國和日本繪畫的傳統(tǒng)技法，也探索歐洲藝術(shù)的表現(xiàn)手法，在他的藝術(shù)生涯創(chuàng)作中的眾多系列作品如今仍被視為藝術(shù)史上的經(jīng)典。他在20世紀60年代初的實驗性繪畫標志著一種全新藝術(shù)風格的誕生。1964年，霍克尼移居洛杉磯，并在那里創(chuàng)作了他著名的游泳池系列作品，以局外人的視角捕捉并記錄了洛杉磯這座城市獨特的魅力和氛圍，成為他藝術(shù)生涯中的重要里程碑。
霍克尼對世界充滿求知欲，這種好奇心驅(qū)使他不斷探索人類如何感知和表現(xiàn)世界。隨著新技術(shù)的運用，進一步拓展了他通過多種媒介創(chuàng)作圖像的興趣。從早期的攝影拼貼、傳真機繪畫，到后來的iPad繪畫，霍克尼始終致力于挖掘技術(shù)在藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作中的無限可能，并創(chuàng)造全新的觀看之道。
大衛(wèi)·霍克尼豐富且歷久彌新的作品，展現(xiàn)了他對生活的熱愛與對世界的好奇心，正如他常說的那句標志性話語——“Love Life熱愛生活”所詮釋的那樣，霍克尼的創(chuàng)作不僅是對藝術(shù)形式的探索，更是對生命本質(zhì)的禮贊。
About Artist
David Hockney has been at the forefront of the international art world for more than six decades. He emerged as one of the exceptional talents in the new generation of British artists in the early 1960s. Throughout his extraordinarily prolific career, he remains endlessly inventive and committed to celebrating the world around him.
Hockney is fascinated by the language of representation in a variety of forms. He explores the conventions of Chinese and Japanese painting as well as the traditions of European art. Throughout his career, Hockney has created many bodies of works as well as individual paintings which are now viewed as iconic. His experimental paintings in the early sixties signaled the emergence of a new artistic style. In 1964, Hockney moved to Los Angeles where he created his celebrated swimming pool series, documenting the city’s seductive charm and ambience from the position of an outsider.
Hockney’s intellectual curiosity has led him to explore how we perceive the world. The artist’s use of new technologies extends his interest in creating images using different means. From his photographic collages and fax machine drawings to his iPad paintings, he seeks to explore all the possibilities offered by technology in the creation of art，and create new ways of seeing and presenting.
David Hockney's rich and enduring body of work reveals his passion for life and curiosity about the world, epitomized by his signature phrase, “Love Life.”
