Join the audience for an engaging talk about the extraordinary life of David Hockney, presented in the form of a captivating graphic novel-style biography by Simon Elliott. This enlightening illustrated discussion follows the remarkable journey of Hockney's life, from his humble beginnings in Bradford to his early breakthrough as an artist. Delve into his vibrant and sun-soaked period in Los Angeles, and witness his triumphant return to the United Kingdom. This delightful book beautifully traces the captivating life and times of one of the most beloved artists in the world. Drawing inspiration from Hockney's powerful message that "spring cannot be cancelled," Simon immersed himself in Hockney's art, even learning to paint on an iPad as a tribute to Hockney's own iconic iPad drawings. Simon embarked on a colorful and joyous journey to create this biography with a twist. Simon Elliott, a criminal barrister, art enthusiast, and stand-up comedian, was granted the privilege of using and adapting Hockney's artwork with the artist's blessing. Rather than simply copying Hockney's work, Simon aimed to depict its essence and convey the underlying ideas in an informative and amusing manner. Hockney's life has been filled with excitement and laughter, and Simon sought to reflect that spirit in this masterpiece. Simon's work is a tribute to Hockney's uplifting message during the lockdown that resonated deeply with him. This graphic life story also highlights the joy, significance, and mindfulness benefits of creating art. In the spirit of inclusivity, all our events, including this one, are free.

We were there on a weekend and mainly walked outside, looking at the gardens and the architecture. We didn&rsquo;t go inside as their hours of operation didn&rsquo;t coincide with the time we were there and had available. Great place to stroll, people watch, or have a picnic, weather permitting.

One of the best piers in the South of England. There is lots to do with tons of seaside rides, fun arcade games and food. Highly recommend catching the sunset here and if you&rsquo;re lucky you might catch the starlings dancing at dusk, I didn&rsquo;t know they do this and it was the most spectacular striking and stunning natural phenomenon I had seen, it was mesmerising. Highest chances of seeing the starlings dance is between November-March, we visited in early March

more like a downtown touristy place with many cafes and cosmetic shops. very easy to get lost while looking for some place on maps. almost did when i was lookong for Mac cosmetics...you will find Jo Malone, Bobby Brown and Mac cosmetics all in one small area. and coffee shops too. on my second attempt i was looking for pizza express and i almost missed it. hehehh the lanes is one place that gets you wondering what exactly is going on with your maps application. definately recomend you to not miss it while in brighton. on your way to lanes you will meet Tmax the famous brand discount shop and boy, you will thank me then.
