David Hockney at the Lightroom review: full immersion into the artist’s career produces mixed results

We’ve seen immersive Van Gogh and immersive Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, so it was only a matter of time before we saw immersive David Hockney, given his equivalent popularity.

Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) features a journey through the British painter’s life and work, projected onto four-storey-high walls in King’s Cross’s Lightroom space. It promises to bathe you in Hockney’s light and colour, so you can feel almost overwhelmed by his works, from the ripples of those Los Angeles pools to the space of the Grand Canyon, and be lifted by his relentless enthusiasm and indefatigable desire to keep looking and making.
