"Hockney's ninety-metre-long frieze, inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, shows the change of seasons at the artist's former studio in Normandy, will be the highlight of a wider exhibition of pandemic-era paintings by the artist."
"During the pandemic, while in lockdown, the artist produced over a hundred images of the local landscape on his iPad within just a few weeks, and then continued through the first lockdown to capture the entire cycle of the year."
"We are thrilled that David Hockney has accepted our invitation to present new works at Serpentine North in 2026. As a highlight of our Spring/Summer season, the exhibition promises to be a landmark cultural moment. Serpentine is free and open to all, and we look forward to welcoming audiences from near and far."
