David Hockney — 26th April, The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire
David Hockney

26th April, The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire

2011

This work exemplifies Hockney's late career embrace of digital technology, created using an iPad to draw over a printed photographic base of the English landscape near his Yorkshire home. The layering of digital mark making atop printed imagery reflects the artist's ongoing investigation into how contemporary tools can capture the phenomenological experience of nature and seasonal change. The limited edition of 25 impressions underscores the work's status as a hybrid between painting, printmaking, and digital art, categories that Hockney has consistently challenged throughout his practice.
