“My primary concerns are looking by drawing and using colour in a ‘specific way’. I try to understand how ‘things’ appear by building relationships of colour, scale and shape that make ‘contact’ with the intangible and ever changing appearances. Colour may be used in different ways; it might be copied or adjusted to work. I am driven by how beautiful something looks, trying to balance observation, invention and imagination.” Mark Dunford INSTAGRAM: most likes in October •Mark Dunford at Tregony Gallery •‘Love Iris’ •likes: 70 •impressions: 2.1K •galleriesmag followers: 1.7K follow galleries_mag SOCIAL media images & listed new shows posted daily to 10K followers TWITTER: top tweet in October •David Hockney at Redfern Gallery •‘Untitled – A Portrait of Paul Jenkins’ •views: 700 •likes: 4 •artmag tweet views: 40K •artmag followers: 8.3K follow @art_mag David Hockney first met the American abstract expressionist painter Paul Jenkins (1923-2012) in London in the early 1960s at Arthur Tooth & Sons, where Jenkins exhibited.
