itsnotoutthere Posted May 12, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Eye-catching artwork by David Hockney that was commissioned by re-elected London Mayor Sadiq Khan has been widely ridiculed on social media. The work, produced by the world-renowed British artist, 83, is part of Mr Khan's new £7million tourism campaign to encourage sightseers back to the capital as Covid restrictions ease. Branding it 'brilliant', Mr Khan unveiled a redesigned version of the Piccadilly Circus Underground sign on Twitter, and promised there would be 'lots more to come very soon'. But the plan appeared to have backfired as thousands of Twitter users were left dismayed, shocked and appalled in equal measure - with many showcasing their own doodles to rival Hockney's piece. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9569911/David-Hockneys-Piccadilly-Circus-art-Sadiq-Khans-7m-London-campaign-ridiculed-online.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small changes leads to massive changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
