BOOK NOW

Using large-scale projection in a remarkable new space, David Hockney takes us on a personal journey through sixty years of his art.

The experience is designed to immerse you in the vivid colours and bold compositions that have defined Hockney's celebrated career — from his iconic swimming pools and double portraits to his expansive Yorkshire landscapes.

Narrated by Hockney himself, Bigger & Closer is an invitation to see familiar works in a completely new way. Projected at an extraordinary scale across walls and floors, paintings that you might know from books or galleries suddenly surround you — revealing details, textures, and brushstrokes that are normally invisible to the naked eye.

This is more than a show — it's an encounter with one of the greatest living artists. Whether you're a lifelong admirer or discovering Hockney for the first time, the experience transforms the way you see art: bigger, closer, and more alive than ever before.
