David Hockney has unveiled a new painting to add a splash of colour to the dark times facing the country. The 82-year-old painter, often dubbed Britain's greatest living artist, new piece is titled 'Do remember they can't cancel the spring'. Mr Hockney is currently in lockdown in Normandy, northern France, where he has been located since his last exhibition opened. Last month the artist's pop art masterpiece, The Splash, sold for £23 million dollars at auction. The staggering sum was at the time the largest amount paid for by an artwork by a living artist at auction.
