David Hockney

"World famous artist David Hockney has slammed plans to build “ugly” wind farms around Bridlington, which he thinks will spoil the area’s countryside.

Speaking exclusively to the Free Press, Mr Hockney – who lives and works in Bridlington – urged people to “say no” to the turbine plans."

You only have to look at his paintings of trees to know that he has a deep connection with the land on which they grow: they are rooted in Yorkshire soil.
