			David Hockney is one of the most influential and popular artists in the world. He was a native of Bradford, England in 1937, and moved to Los Angeles in the 1960s, where he began to gain public fame by producing a number of portraits of people, including swimming pools, still-life figures and others. During the long work journey of the past 60 years or so, Hawken has produced some of the most widely known images in the art world, attempting various styles regardless of the form of the work.

He constantly asks questions about the way we look at the world, drawing colorful pictures on a two-dimensional plane in an innovative and adventurous approach, showing various possibilities through his works. His works cover a wide range of genres, including painting, engraving, drawing and photography, as well as recently using digital technology.

The exhibition, which will be held at the Seoul Museum of Art, is the writer's first large-scale solo exhibition in Asia and aims to highlight the characteristics of the artist's time-honored works by presenting 133 paintings, drawings and prints from the early 1950s to 2017.
The exhibition, featuring a number of collections and other overseas collections from the British Museum of Tate, traces the amazing move through a seven-member section on how Hawkeney has questioned the way he sees through numerous media outlets and issues of reproductions, from his days as a promising art college student to his place as a writer of worldwide attention.
