Hockney’s experimentation with perspective spans decades, most notably perhaps in his photographic collages from the 1980s. He continues this exploration in what he calls “photographic drawings” like Seven Trollies, Six and a Half Stools, Six Portraits, Eleven Paintings, and Two Curtains – to create these works, hundreds of photographs are digitally assembled and merged into a single image. By placing these multiple “vanishing points” into one image, Hockney intends to create work that is even “more real” than ordinary photography. Much like “3D photographs without the glasses”, these works give the impression of being inside a room while staring at the flat plane of the piece.
