Artist David Hockney will create a monumental, ten-meter-long window installation for the Sunley Gallery at Turner Contemporary in Margate, UK. The work, based on a 2020 iPad painting of a sunrise in Normandy, will be illuminated at night and will be on view from April to November as part of the gallery's 15th-anniversary celebrations.
This major commission underscores Hockney's enduring popularity and his ongoing artistic dialogue with JMW Turner, a key inspiration. The installation coincides with another significant Hockney exhibition opening at London's Serpentine Galleries in March, highlighting a continued high demand for the artist's work in the UK following recent blockbuster retrospectives.
