サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「Still Life from 2017 is the first of David Hockney’s extraordinary hexagonal paintings to come to the auction stage. The singular shape of the canvas dramatically opens up the composition to invite a greatly expanded sense of perspective; in Hockney’s own words: “The indentations paradoxically widen the sense of space and invite all sorts of fresh lines of sight … as you can see, far from cutting corners, I was adding them”. Enacting a rigorous treatise on perspective, Still Life is a rigorous pastiche on the laws of perspective, laying out mind-bending patterns and patchworks of grids, lines and spots. Singling out Still Life in his essay on Hockney’s hexagonal paintings, Lawrence Weschler writes: “he perpetrated an odd dreamlike still-life space with a half-dozen mountains of piled-up Leger-esque cylinders (one of them erupting!) scattered around a strange notched interior” (Ibid). Inscribed with the words “Still Life”, signaling the artist’s signature quaint humor, Still Life draws the viewer into a fantastical world replete with the virtuosic painterly genius, intellectual zest and eccentric wit that distinguish the very best of Hockney’s remarkable output.
