David Hockney has returned to the Royal Academy of Arts. This time, he's occupying the Sackler Wing, with an intimate exhibition of recent portraits entitled '82 Portraits and 1 Still-life'

随着2012年皇家艺术学院景观展览的成功，大卫·霍克尼(DavidHockney)又一次回到了英国皇家艺术学院。这一次，他占领了萨克勒翼，与最近的肖像亲密展览。

在过去两年半的洛杉矶霍克尼工作室里，这场展览是他在天使之城生活的一扇窗户，每幅肖像的主题都是艺术家亲自邀请他参加的。他们从朋友和家人到熟人和职员，包括拉里·加戈辛(Larry Gagosian)、雅各布·罗斯柴尔德(Jacob Rothschild)、弗兰克·盖里(Frank Gehry)和西莉亚·伯特韦尔(Celia Birtwell)等知名人物，以及霍@@

虽然肖像画的数量很大，但每幅画都有一种统一的感觉；三天之内，每幅画都画在同一幅画布上，并在明亮的蓝色背景下描绘出坐在同一张椅子上的主题。在这样做时，霍克尼的目标是强调他的主题的个性，以及他自己的发展，在丙烯酸涂料的媒介。为了突出这一进展，作品按时间顺序挂在整个画廊。展览是通过伊迪丝·德瓦尼(Edith Devaney)与霍克尼(Hockney)本人的密切合作来策划的。

除了展出的肖像外，RA还将发行一本有插图的书，其中包括对艺术家的采访、正在完成过程中的几幅画作的照片，以及保罗·梅隆(Paul Mellon)教授蒂姆·巴林格(Tim Barringer)在耶鲁大学(Yale University)艺术史教授蒂姆·巴林格(Tim Barringer)对霍克尼肖像画的探索。

Painted over the last two and a half years in Hockney’s studio in Los Angeles, the exhibition is a window into his life in the City of Angels, with the subject of each portrait personally invited by the artist to sit for him

Though the number of portraits is expansive, each has been created with a sense of uniformity: all are painted on the same size canvas within three days, and depict its subject seated in the same chair against a bright blue background.

Hockney aims to place emphasis on the personalities of his subjects, as well as his own development in the medium of acrylic paint. Pictured: Rita Pynoos, 1st, 2nd March, 2014. Photography: Richard Schmidt. Copyright the artist

To highlight this progression, the works are hung chronologically throughout the galleries. Pictured: David Juda, 22nd, 23rd, 25th March, 2015. Photography: Richard Schmidt. Copyright the artist
