David Hockney on Friday unveiled his massive new painting that covers an entire wall in the Royal Academy's largest gallery in London. The grand work, made of 50 smaller canvases, measures 40 feet wide and 15 feet tall. It shows a sprawling grove of multicolored trees and a detailed network of brown, black and green branches. Lush foliage in the foreground gives way to the green English countryside in the background. Two red farm buildings can be seen on the right.
Hockney, 69, who lives in Los Angeles, painted it in the open air of his native Yorkshire earlier this year.
The exhibition opens June 11 and runs until Aug. 19.
