David Hockney: A Year in Normandy

David Hockney presents a monumental frieze of ninety meters celebrating the everyday beauty of Normandy through the seasons. This spectacular artwork, created on iPad during the 2020 lockdown, captures the landscapes, trees, fields, and farms of the region where the artist spent part of the year. Hockney uses digital technology to create vibrant and joyful images that celebrate nature and the cycle of the seasons. The bright colors, repetitive patterns, and unusual perspective create an immersive visual experience that transforms the viewer's gaze upon the familiar landscape. The exhibition shows how Hockney used digital tools to continue to create and observe the world during a difficult time. This work is a testament to the artist's resilience and his ability to find beauty in the everyday. A Year in Normandy is an optimistic celebration of nature and life.
