Hockney’s new paintings for the Serpentine Gallery reflect his lifelong fascination with looking, “affirming his belief that simple beauty is worth celebrating”.
It’s an exhibition that at its heart is the environmental cycle as we now know it but will change over climate change time. The Hockney frieze surrounds the gallery like a ribbon of his time in Normandy.
It has Hockney’s brush strokes, meanderings and simple narrative. The drawings are projected from his iPad onto the interior wall of the Serpentine Gallery North like a film; its edits enabling a continuous moving image of winter through spring summer, autumn and back to winter. It’s simple, atmospheric, and is time lapse journey.
