Annely Juda Fine Art announces its inaugural exhibition at the gallery’s new space on Hanover Square with works by David Hockney. Opening in early November 2025, the exhibition will debut a series of new paintings alongside the first full presentation in the UK of Hockney’s “The Moon Room”.
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.
The show will also include “The Moon Room”, comprising 15 iPad paintings of the night sky. The moon works were created in 2020 outside Hockney’s Normandy studio in France throughout the seasons and, just as previous iPad works have, these works capture a joy in nature, this time brightly illuminated by moonlight. Influences of Van Gogh are present, yet Hockney’s signature use of line and colour is unmistakable. With the ability to paint easily en plein air, Hockney enjoys the speed with which he can capture light with the iPad, evident in the luminosity of these works.
