We believe that contemporary artists offer extraordinary perspectives on contemporary society. They cross boundaries, and they take us with them. They enable us to see ourselves and the world around us in completely different, sometimes life-changing, ways.
David Hockney is consistently called Britains favourite artist. This is the first time that so many works from his early years in London and Los Angeles have been shown together for nearly 40 years. It is exciting, too, to present Frances Starks first solo exhibition in a public gallery in this country.
The artists are from different generations, but they share similarities. Los Angeles as a way of life is apparent in their work. Both artists incorporate their literary interests into their visual art. Both share, too, an autobiographical code, making their art a game of interpretation. Neither artist dissolves art into life instead they complicate the two. It is a connection that sets the tone for the new Nottingham Contemporary.
