The Collection

Taking its name from David Hockney's exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, David Hockney: The Arrival of Spring, Normandy, 2020, this collection showcases artworks that reflect the passing of the seasons, looking at the way nature responds to and leads the arrival of spring. Botanical motifs, pastel colours and a delicate application of paint characterise the collection, playing on typical impressions of spring and bringing about new interpretations.
