You are invited to join us for our next LGBT Event: a trip to an immersive exhibition - David Hockney: Bigger and Closer at Factory International!

We will spend an hour marvelling at giant projections and videos of the work of world famous artist David Hockey.

Afterwards we will have a chat over a tea or coffee and a slice of cake (on us!).

Here's some info about the show:

Let David Hockney take you on a personal journey through sixty years of his art in this vibrant immersive exhibition

With huge state-of-the-art projections and a revolutionary sound system, Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) invites you to experience the world through David Hockney’s eyes.

After opening at Lightroom in London to rave reviews, this is the first time the show has travelled outside of the capital. Get an insight into the legendary artist’s process as you journey through six different chapters of his work, seeing the room around you light up and change.

Covering his work from LA to Yorkshire, and up to the present day in Normandy, the show is an incredible opportunity to get to know one of the great popular geniuses of the art world still experimenting with new technology to create beauty and wonder.

Hear from Hockney as you watch how he experiments with perspective, uses photography as a way of ‘drawing with a camera’, captures the passing of time in his polaroid collages and the joy of spring on his iPad – and shows us why only paint can properly convey the hugeness of the Grand Canyon.
