David Hockney Opens a Major Exhibition at Serpentine Featuring New Paintings and A Year in Normandie

British artist David Hockney opens his first solo show at London’s Serpentine North, running from 12 March to 23 August 2026. The exhibition pairs a new body of ten paintings—five still lifes and five portraits framed by a gingham tablecloth—with the artist’s 90‑metre landscape frieze “A Year in Normandie,” displayed in London for the first time. A large‑scale printed mural of a spring scene from the frieze adorns the Serpentine garden, extending the work outdoors. Admission is free, inviting a wide audience to experience Hockney’s exploration of colour, perception and everyday rhythm.
