Graceland London’s paintings are created using acrylic paint which emphasises the flat surface of the canvas; the complex worlds that she creates are represented in a 2-dimensional universe. However, she employs oil paint for certain motifs, rendered with a sophisticated use of shading and patient attention to detail. ✨🐙 The Embodyment of What Is Earthly Graceland London Mixed media on canvas 2023 #gracelandlondon #acidpop #oilpainting

In all of his paintings, McQueen includes a spray-painted monkey wearing a hat in place of the Penguin icon. He describes this playful character as a ‘personal insignia’: ✨ ‘I wanted a character that I could identify with, something mischievous with a sense of humour that can push boundaries.’ - James McQueen 🐒 Discover artworks by James McQueen at Halcyon, Harrods 🛍️ 📍 Harrods, third floor 🎟️ Free Entry #jamesmcqueen #artinlondon #harrods

Celia Birtwell’s and David Hockney’s relationship is reflected in his work, which often echoes the domestic and private scenes seen in the art of the Impressionists Renoir (1841-1919) or Degas (1834-1917). These artists depicted women in routine activities like washing, drying, dreaming or cooking. Hockney’s use of the languid pose and doe-like eyes evoke a similar effect to these scenes; in representing a soft feminine ideal, the artists open their artworks to narratives beyond the frame. ✨ Celia in the Director’s Chair David Hockney Lithograph 1980 #davidhockney #livingincolour #freeexhibition

'Portraits aren't just made up of drawing, they are made up of other insights as well. Celia is one of the few girls I know really well. I've drawn her so many times and knowing her makes it always slightly different.' – David Hockney ✨ Celia Observing David Hockney Etching and aquatint 1976 Discover David Hockney: Living In Colour at📍148 New Bond Street 🎟️ Free Exhibition #davidhockney #livingincolour #artexhibition

The fried eggs we see take their starting point from the representation of eggs in Renaissance art - as symbols of new life and optimism. The ‘fried’ egg is symbolic of the artist’s view of contemporary life: ‘when you come to this life, you are already doomed...because of how many things are wrong with this world’. 🍳💚 Conflict ✨ Graceland London Oil & acrylic on canvas 2020 #gracelandlondon #symbolism #londonartscene #newbondstreet

‘In art, new ways of seeing mean new ways of feeling; you can’t divorce the two, as, we are now aware, you cannot have time without space and space without time.’ - David Hockney 🎨 Above and Beyond ✨ David Hockney Screenprint on Arches wove paper 1993 #davidhockney #freeexhibition #londonart
