David Hockney — Lightning, from The Weather Series
David Hockney

Lightning, from The Weather Series

A vibrant and graphic depiction of a lightning bolt rendered in Hockney's characteristically bold, flat colors and playful aesthetic. The work exemplifies his exploration of natural phenomena through a simplified, almost cartoon-like visual language that strips weather down to its most essential and immediate form. Part of his broader Weather Series, this piece reflects Hockney's ongoing fascination with perception, the environment, and the expressive potential of color and line.
