《大卫 · 霍克尼：更大，更近 （当然不是更小更远）》展览即将在上海西岸美术馆隆重开幕

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世纪和21世纪最有影响力的当代艺术家大卫·霍克尼首个沉浸式艺术展《大卫 · 霍克尼：更大，更近 （当然不是更小更远）》将在上海西岸美术馆隆重开幕。这场展览由霍克尼本人及团队历时三年亲自参与创作与监制，是迄今为止艺术家借由数字媒介所进行的一次最大规模的艺术探索。

大卫·霍克尼不仅画出了20世纪最具标志性的图像，也是一位把画画当作视觉实验室的艺术家。他研究光学仪器对西方绘画的影响，并通过摄影拼贴、传真机、数码绘画（如iPad和iPhone绘画）和多屏沉浸式装置重新定义了我们如何“看见”世界与图像。他不仅以开放的姿态拥抱新技术，也将技术内化为绘画性表达的一部分。这次展览正是对他所探索的多重视觉经验的集中呈现。

本次展览并非简单的作品回顾，而是一次充满生命力的再创造——艺术家的标志性画作将在沉浸式的空间中焕发新生，未曾公开的创作以数字媒体的面貌首次呈现。在这里，观众将走进霍克尼的视觉宇宙，感受他如何以数字化的笔触重新诠释自然、空间与感知。水波的荡漾、四季的更迭、加州阳光的跃动，都在光影的交织中变得更加鲜活。

展览由OUTPUT与伦敦Lightroom团队、59 Studio联合呈现，将于2025年4月29日至11月30日在西岸美术馆智造展厅展出。霍克尼一生对新媒体可能性的探索将在此得到淋漓尽致的展现，观众将通过他的视角重新审视和感知世界。

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.

展览分为六大主题章节，配以尼科 · 穆利（Nico Muhly）特别创作的音乐，配以霍克尼的亲自解说，为观众揭开他六十载创作生涯背后的故事与思考。观众将跟随霍克尼的讲解，深入了解他如何打破常规进行透视实验、如何将摄影作为一种“用相机绘画”的方式，用宝丽来拼贴捕捉时间流逝、用iPad描绘春天的生机勃勃，以及为何唯有油画才能淋漓尽致地展现大峡谷的壮丽与震撼。此外，展览还将通过沉浸式视听体验，带领观众与霍克尼一同踏上《瓦格纳大道（The Wagner Drive）》，穿越圣加布里埃尔山脉；甚至进入用动画技术重现的歌剧院舞台设计，感受霍克尼对歌剧艺术的独特诠释。

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.

从洛杉矶到约克郡，再到如今的诺曼底，这场展览为观众提供了前所未有的机会，近距离感受这位艺术界广受欢迎的天才——他依然在创新，依然在创造美与震撼。

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.

“如果你仔细观察，世界其实非常非常美丽，但大多数人并不常去留心。他们只是匆匆扫视脚下的路，并没有真正投入地、细致入微地观察事物。而我，会这样去做。”

—— 大卫 · 霍克尼，《大卫 · 霍克尼：更大，更近 （当然不是更小更远）》原声带中的一段话

"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)'

大卫 · 霍克尼与中国颇有渊源。早年，霍克尼曾经亲访中国，并将旅行经历整理成系列作品《中国日记》。在他的创作和研究中，中国传统绘画也启发了他的「反透视」观念。他融入了中国画中的「移步换景」和「散点透视」理念， 并看到了另一种视觉智慧：绘画亦是关于心理的空间体验，中国的山水与文人画，许多时候画的是经验，而非图像，是主观时间，而非静止风景。在这次展览中，霍克尼不仅以数字化的笔触重新诠释自然、空间与感知，也潜在邀请着一种中国绘画精神里的游目骋怀。

本次展览由大卫·霍克尼及其团队，共同携手Lightroom团队及59 Studio团队历时三年倾心打造，是迄今为止艺术家首个以数字媒介呈现的回顾展。该展览由59 Studio的马克·格里默（Mark Grimmer）执导。自2023年2月在伦敦Lightroom首演以来，《更大，更近 （当然不是更小更远）》已在英国伦敦、曼彻斯特、韩国首尔展出，受到国际观众的广泛好评，并获得并获《泰晤士报》、《独立报》及《观察家报》等权威媒体高度赞誉。如今，这部精彩的作品首次登陆中国。OUTPUT受艺术家及Lightroom委托，将本次展览独家引入中国。展览还将在中国其他城市巡回展出，让更多观众通过霍克尼的视角感受世界——这将是一场震撼又充满全新视角的的视听盛宴。

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.

关于艺术家

大卫 · 霍克尼（David Hockney）在国际艺术界前沿已经活跃超过六十年。他在1960年代初期崭露头角，成为英国新一代的杰出天才艺术家代表之一。在他极其丰富高产的艺术生涯中，霍克尼始终保持着无尽的创造力，用艺术赞颂他所见的世界。

霍克尼对多种形式的艺术表现语言深感着迷。他不仅深入研究中国和日本绘画的传统技法，也探索欧洲艺术的表现手法，在他的艺术生涯创作中的众多系列作品如今仍被视为艺术史上的经典。他在20世纪60年代初的实验性绘画标志着一种全新艺术风格的诞生。1964年，霍克尼移居洛杉矶，并在那里创作了他著名的游泳池系列作品，以局外人的视角捕捉并记录了洛杉矶这座城市独特的魅力和氛围，成为他艺术生涯中的重要里程碑。

霍克尼对世界充满求知欲，这种好奇心驱使他不断探索人类如何感知和表现世界。随着新技术的运用，进一步拓展了他通过多种媒介创作图像的兴趣。从早期的摄影拼贴、传真机绘画，到后来的iPad绘画，霍克尼始终致力于挖掘技术在艺术创作中的无限可能，并创造全新的观看之道。

大卫·霍克尼丰富且历久弥新的作品，展现了他对生活的热爱与对世界的好奇心，正如他常说的那句标志性话语——“Love Life热爱生活”所诠释的那样，霍克尼的创作不仅是对艺术形式的探索，更是对生命本质的礼赞。

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.”
