David H at the RAA

Whereas the DaV exhibit at the NG is known as London’s premiere art exhibit in ’11, the RAA’s David H show is already reputed as the show to see this year. I was stunned by the vivid colour used to depict an otherwise melancholy English countryside in the larger-than-life-sized works.  M was impressed by the aged artist’s use of technology: the mammoth wall hangings are prints of the artist’s work executed on an iPad. Of course, one would never know looking at the art that they are merely reproductions of what was created on an Apple product. At the RAA, the joke is on the technophobe and the jester is a technophile.
