Hockney’s iPad Paintings: Love Them or Hate Them?

SUNI ponders whether a tech-savvy artist can still make traditionalists squirm.

The late David Hockney's digital paintings, showcased in the Serpentine Gallery, have sparked debate. "The iPad is a fascistic form of mark-making," writes Olivia McEwan, suggesting that while she prefers his physical works, others may differ.


How we approach a late artist’s work remains a complex issue. Meanwhile, the opening of 'A Year in Normandie' at Serpentine Galleries raises questions about digital art's place in traditional galleries. Hockney’s argument against loaning the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum due to its fragility is discussed.


Elsewhere, Tate names Jessica Morgan as its new director, while two painters sue The Hole Gallery for outstanding sales proceeds and collectors gift modern and contemporary art to the Zimmerli Art Museum.


The article also features a reflection on Brazilian modernist Chico da Silva’s legacy, with an exhibition at David Nolan Gallery focusing on intergenerational Amazonian art.
