One of the most celebrated British painters of the 20th and 21st centuries. His swimming pool paintings made in Los Angeles in the 1960s are among the most reproduced images in contemporary art. A restless investigator of perception and representation, Hockney has worked in painting, photography, printmaking, stage design, and iPad drawing.

Hockney's 90-metre Normandy frieze and new paintings at Serpentine North

"For the past 50 years, Hockney has flitted between these two modes, returning occasionally from noodling to remind us of his gift for direct communication (see his portrait of the performer Divine, the affecting drawings of his ageing mother, or his paintings of the Yorkshire landscape in the 2000s). But, sad to report, it is to the late stages of the jazz tendency that most of this exhibition belongs."
