David Hockney: The Arrival of Spring, Normandy, 2020 @ Royal Academy, Gabrielle Jungels-Winkler Galleries, London

David Hockney RA is one of the most important British artists of the 20th century and he remains one of the most inventive. Throughout his career, hes investigated new technologies and explored different ways to make art, beginning with his iPhone in 2007 before adopting the iPad and Stylus in 2010. This new body of work 116 works in total has been painted on the iPad and then printed onto paper, with Hockney overseeing all aspects of production. As Hockney himself notes: working on the iPad requires the ability to drawandpaint. Each work which has been printed far larger than the screen on which it was created allows you to see every mark and stroke of the artists hand. Made in the spring of 2020, during a period of intense activity at his home in Normandy, this exhibition charts the unfolding of spring, from beginning to end, and is a joyous celebration of the seasons. Opening exactly a year after the works were made during the global pandemic, this exhibition will be a reminder of the constant renewal and wonder of the natural world and the beauty of spring. Exhibition organised by the Royal Academy of Arts, London in collaboration with the Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels (BOZAR). This exhibition with run from 23 May 2021 until 01 Aug 2021 in the Main Gallery, and then from 11 Aug 2021 until 26 Sep 2021 will be viewed in the Gabrielle Jungels-Winkler Galleries
