Meaning & Analysis
The Yosemite Suite 9 by David Hockney, created in 2010, is an iPad drawing printed on paper. This digital print depicts the landscape of Yosemite National Park, capturing a view of a mountain top being lit by the sun with a green tree reaching up in the foreground. Part of a larger series, it reflects his ongoing exploration of natural environments through contemporary mediums. The work captures the park's distinctive scenery, blending traditional landscape art with digital innovation.
This landcape features a prominent green tree in the foreground, set against Yosemite's distinctive mountains and a clear blue sky. Hockney's use of the iPad allowed for precise layering of colours and textures, resulting in a detailed and immersive scene composed with various textured strokes with the digital ‘brush’. The bright hues and intricate detailing of the foliage highlight his characteristic style while revealing the unique climate of Yosemite at sunrise. The artist created these works on-site during visits to Yosemite in 2010 and 2011, using the newly released iPad as his canvas. This approach allowed Hockney to work outdoors with a digital medium, combining traditional artistic practices with contemporary technology. The resulting prints, including The Yosemite Suite 9, showcase Hockney's adaptability and his ability to convey the essence of nature through new artistic tools.
