About
One of the most influential artists of our time, David Hockney invites viewers to slow down and notice the extraordinary within the everyday in his first exhibition at Serpentine. Created specifically for this presentation, Hockney's new paintings extend his lifelong fascination with the act of looking, affirming his belief that simple beauty is worth celebrating. The exhibition is conceived in close collaboration with the artist and brings Hockney's celebrated panoramic frieze A Year in Normandie to London for the first time. Inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, this monumental work captures the changing seasons at the artist's former studio in Normandy. In the context of the exhibition at Serpentine , it opens a dialogue with the surrounding nature of Kensington Gardens.
