‘Thoughts of a Bigger Splash’ marks Spanish artist Xevi Solà's first solo exhibition at Opera Gallery Monaco and serves as a subtle tribute to the work of the late David Hockney. Echoing the atmosphere of the French Riviera and the final days of summer, the exhibition presents a curated selection of previously unseen paintings depicting silent figures gathered around the highly symbolic setting of the swimming pool. The swimming pool occupies a singular place in the collective imagination.
