Hockney is a respected artist.
With this effort he is either saying “look at meeeeeee, I am David Hockney, everything I do is genius” or he is saying, “if the check cashes you’re an idiot.”
This is pure shit, on every level.
It’s not charming. The colors are gross. It doesn’t harken a feeling that is inviting.
It’s not minimalist, in the sense that it gets an idea across quickly. It’s just minimal effort.
It’s hard to look at.
And the mayor calls it “brilliant.”
Let’s Do London, as in “take their money and run.”
English tax payers can ill afford to pay for this crap, all in the name of trying to keep tourists coming to that Islamic hellhole.
LONdone.
Even the artist knows it isn’t worth the effort.
…you ever see what passes for “art” in the Islamic world?

…when you realize that THIS is the “mayor of London’s” starting point, pretty much ANYTHING is an improvement…
Like it says… Let’s DO London. Hence the circle and the long penis shaped banner with a strategic ‘S’ dangling. Yep, someone got screwed.
The Mayor and the Artist have no clothes !
It looks like a child created it.
They re-elected this guy, they deserve the crap coming their way.
London, Go for the art, stay because you where stabbed.
Do an image search of his work. Brilliant is the last word to describe it. He’s no Michelangelo. More like grade school art class.
I could have given them my granddaughter’s name. All they had to do was ask.
Anonymous: Did they elect him, or did Dominion count the votes?
This dude is like the Beatles when they were near the end of their careers.
They thought they could shit on a paper plate and it would sell.
He “did” London. As in he f***ed them.
Are the Mayors of London and NYC competing for the dumbest “revitalization campaign” ideas?
Hockney is as queer as a 3 dollar bill. His “art” is a product of a sick mind.
I know, I know, Michalangelo, supposedly, and others – but no actual evidence of him being a queer – just wishful thinking of modern day queers to find birds of a feather. They even claim Abe Lincoln was queer.
I prefer Bevis and Butthead Do America.
The premise of your opening line is incorrect. David Hockney is is not a respected artist, not by respectable people. He is a well connected, over paid, no talent fraud who is a useful product line for the gallerists and patrons (otherwise known as money launderers).
Hockey is the poster boy for everything that is wrong with the contemporary art world. His work is shite and he dresses like a feckin’ clown. I bet he’s a real name dropping bore… Maybe not; maybe he’s just a clever old fool who figured out how to work the game.
But the quality of his work should have come as no surprise. Here, have a look: https://www.pacegallery.com/artists/david-hockney/
In the immortal words of Rachel Jeantel, “That’s real retarded, sir”.
His first attempt at computer art and instead of Photoshop he chose Microsoft Paint.
Yikes. What a maroon. Which would a better color than what he chose.
…you ever see what passes for “art” in the Islamic world?
No wonder they’re perpetually pissed!
And it shows in their “art”!
Art is not about money. Or at least real art isn’t, despite the manipulations and miseducation practiced by our current corrupt arts institutions. They exterminated ideals of quality and skill from art, so price tags act as a stand-in for measuring achievement. But a shady and inflated purchase price doesn’t add integrity to a work of art; it definitely can’t change non-art into an actual artistic accomplishment.
It looks like he misspelled Piccadilly. Piccrdilly?
And what’s with all the baked potatoes in the bushes? lol
