Hockney's fourteenth exhibition at the gallery, and following his celebrated exhibition at Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris this summer, this show will debut never-seen-before paintings completed in his London studio over the last six months, underpinning Hockney's unwavering commitment to and vigour for the act of painting and cementing him as perhaps the most iconic artist of today. These very, very, very new paintings mark the most developed stage yet in Hockney's dedication to 'reverse perspective' in paint. For decades, Hockney has observed that traditional linear perspective in art and photography doesn't reflect how humans actually see: we have peripheral vision, we move and we constantly generate multiple viewpoints. Viewing is therefore not static, but dynamic and experiential. It's not an inversion of perspective that interests Hockney, but an expansion of the possibilities of representation. In these recent canvases, which depict colourful interior scenes, he disrupts planar perspective and engineers multiple vanishing points in a single picture, bringing us closer to the lived experience of perception.
