iPhone and iPad drawings by celebrated artist David Hockney are presented in our second flood gallery. Hockney has long embraced new technologies to create pictures. These works, depicting intimate domestic scenes, still-lifes, floral arrangements, and self-portraits, represent some of Hockney's earliest experiments with drawing on the phone and tablet.Taking inspiration from the character of Topsy in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s classic anti-slavery novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” Alison Saar re-contextualizes this uncouth young girl as a symbol of defiance through paintings on vintage linens, drawings on found steamer trunk drawers, and sculptures (both diminutive and life-size) carved from wood and plated with reclaimed ceiling tin.
