NEW CONCEPTUAL ART DIRECTION

Dadaist Art Axis is here asserting that the shape, texture, color and form of Hockney’s own exhaled smoke in the photo can be legitimately considered to be an actual artwork by Hockney himself, until now undiscovered or unrecognised. This astounding perception, along with appropriation of an edited crop of David’s exhaled smoke in the photo, digitally enhanced and enlivened by SFX to resemble a dragon’s head, gives Art Axis a legitimacy to claim one half of the copyright to this Work. London Dada awaits DH’s agent’s response and permission to sell the Work with sale proceeds to be shared equally.

Proposed edition of 100 dual-signed edition Lightjet prints on Kodak Pro Endura ( pending permission from DH )
