Recent developments across the UK art world highlight both the enduring influence and evolving practice of David Hockney. The Serpentine's current exhibition 'A Year in Normandie & Some Other Thoughts About Painting' continues to discussion about the role of digital tools in contemporary painting, while strong auction results for Hockney's 'Arrival of Spring' series underline sustained collector demand.
Looking ahead, the Tate has announced major exhibitions for 2027, including an immersive Turbine Hall presentation of Hockney's opera set designs and a career-spanning retrospective at Tate Britain.
Alongside a wider institutional shift towards broader, more inclusive narratives, these moments reinforce Modo's commitment to exploring the evolution of painting, whilst making art accessible, engaging anr relevant to diverse audiences.
