David Hockney The Moon Room

Gray Chicago, 2044 W. Carroll Ave, Chicago, IL 60612
GRAY announces David Hockney: The Moon Room opening in the gallery’s Chicago location on July 10, 2026. The exhibition centers on a recently released series focused on the artist’s observations of the moon. Created in 2020 at his Normandy studio in France, Hockney used his iPad to make daily paintings of the surrounding landscape, working en plein air to capture the changing seasons as illuminated by moonlight. Hockney turned to the iPad for its immediacy and responsiveness, a medium that bridges the disciplines of painting and drawing while accommodating the spontaneity of working outdoors, especially in the dark. The exhibition will remain on view through August 22, 2026. This is Hockney’s sixteenth exhibition with GRAY.
