David Hockney – Drawing from Life

Tickets are on sale to see Harry Styles  not in performance but through the eyes of the world-renowned artist David Hockney. Styles was one of the subjects to sit for Hockney ahead of the exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery which is set between two dates from 2nd November 2023 to 21st January 2024.

Thirty-three new portraits were created between 2021 and 2022 at Hockney’s Normandy Studio. These will be accompanied by other works featured in a 2020 exhibition making up to 160 works featured from loans of collections from across the globe.

Rendered in pastel, pencil, ink and watercolour the portraits were created using a straight-to canvas technique and were completed in two to three sittings. Life drawings come back after a period of landscapes set around Normandy. The artist is returning with a chorus of talent.

Tickets are currently on sale at www.npg.org.uk
