David Hockney

After someone suggested I look at surrealism I found that David Hockney's photo montages really fascinated me as the idea of sections is still something that I would like to look at. In particular I like Hockney's 'Blue Terrace, Los Angeles' piece, I love the way the whole image has been separated into sections with a grid as it makes it easier to focus on one section at a time. 

The bottom image (^) is not very clear as it is a photocopy from a book, the separation of the sections makes me want to focus on sections of an image rather the the image as a whole.

Here I have used gouache to create a colour palette for the image shown, the colours are not exact as I was looking the image on the computer screen and when I printed it off the colours were slightly different. The knit sample shown here is an attempt to recreate the image by drawing with the yarns as I knit.

The left side of this image has the same issue as mentioned above, in terms of the colour difference on screen and printed out! The right side of this image was just an attempt to do what Hockney did with the blue terrace image, I quite like the affects it has but I'm not too sure where I could go from this point...
