David Hockney — Arrival of Spring
David Hockney

Arrival of Spring

A luminous iPad drawing depicting a verdant country lane framed by lush green foliage, wildflowers, and gnarled overhanging tree branches rendered in Hockney's characteristically expressive digital style. The composition draws the eye down a winding dirt road receding into a tunnel of green, evoking the arrival of spring in the East Yorkshire landscape. Part of Hockney's celebrated 'Arrival of Spring' series, these works demonstrate the artist's pioneering use of the iPad as a fine art medium. The piece radiates warmth and vitality through its vivid palette of greens, yellows, and earthy ochres.

iPad drawing (digital print)

Notes

Likely from the 'The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011' series, first exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, 2012. Hockney created these iPad drawings en plein air in the East Yorkshire Wolds. The series was later published as a limited edition print portfolio.
