Exhibition On Screen: David Hockney at the Royal Academy of Arts

Widely considered Britain’s most popular artist, David Hockney was a global sensation, with exhibitions in London, New York, Paris and beyond attracting millions of visitors worldwide. Even into his ninth decade, Hockney showed no evidence of slowing down or losing his trademark boldness, continuing to reinvent the possibilities of painting and image-making.

Now, following his recent passing, this film offers a timely and intimate opportunity to celebrate the life and work of a true 21st-century master.

Featuring in-depth interviews with Hockney himself, this revealing documentary focuses on two landmark exhibitions held at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 2012 and 2016.

With privileged access, director Phil Grabsky crafts a cinematic tribute to an artist whose vision, vitality and influence will endure for generations.
