British artist David Hockney has unveiled his first large-scale solo exhibition in Japan in 27 years this summer at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo. The artist, who is regarded as one of the most versatile artists of our time, has spent the last 60 years of his career producing paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and even digital art to explore nature, landscapes, and human relationships.
This showcase features more than 100 of Hockey’s works, making it the artist’s most comprehensive exhibition ever held in Japan. Works range from his early masterpieces painted on the west coast of the United States in the 1960s to a series of large-scale paintings created during the Covid-19 lockdown in Normandy, northern France.
