David Hockney’s Bigger Christmas Trees cover Battersea Power Station

We love an arty Christmas tree at The Art Newspaper—note our diligent chronicling of Rachel Whiteread’s festive effort—so we’re happy to see that David Hockney has created an eye-popping digital tree for London’s Battersea Power Station. From 5pm to 10.30pm daily, Hockney’s Bigger Christmas Trees will light up the London landmark’s two washtowers on the building’s north facade. “Battersea Power Station is such a beautiful building, I wanted to decorate it in a way that I hoped would bring joy and hope to Londoners,” says Hockney. The move is all part of a canny marketing campaign by Apple whose HQ are located in the famous building. Hockney is indeed a fan of the mega tech conglomerate, using an iPad to create works such as a stained glass window at Westminster Abbey honouring Queen Elizabeth II.
