"Dave Where's My Undies?" is a mock of the David Hockney painting "Peter getting out of Nick's pool" painted by Hockney in 1966. This painting is in the Modern Art section of the Walker art gallery. My contact at the gallery has allowed me to put it up on the wall temporarily in the same room as the Hockney painting. As you can see the lightbulb represents the figures instant thought about where his underpants are. It's not an exact pastiche of the original painting as i've cropped the image and i've also (puposely) missed out the garden chair which would feature on the left of the figure. This is so the focus is on the figure alone. I will be putting this painting up at the Walker Art Gallery on Friday 19th October and videoing the viewers reactions to it.
