Hockney's guardian angel


I feel like I am being watched daily

After sifting through some magazines I found some great images of the artist 'David Hockney' that I have decided to cut out and use within my collage artwork.

The above image of David Hockney is one of my favourites due to the huge fur coat that he is wearing, and the orange trilby styled hat that he has perched on his head.

I really love the colours on the wall behind him as well, and the fragment of slogan for cough sweets gives the image an extra dimension. I also like the old styled car that you can just see a part of as this gives the image more of a feel of the period the original photograph was taken in.

As for the model taking up the other half of the image, I decided to use this picture as I felt that because of the way she was looking, it was as if she was watching over the image of David Hockney like some type of guardian angel who had decided to keep an eye on him when he goes about his daily routine.
