Meaning & Analysis
Study Of The Entrance by David Hockney, created in 2019, is an iPad drawing printed on paper. This artwork depicts the driveway to Hockney's home in Normandy, France in a muted palette of green, blue, brown, and burnt umber.
The artwork, created using an iPad and Apple Pencil, presents a detailed portrayal of the driveway leading to Hockney's Normandy residence. The composition is characterised by its subdued use of colour, with saturated greens and blues capturing the tranquility of the French countryside. The meticulous detailing of the trees and the pathway showcases Hockney's keen observational skills and his ability to translate nature's complexity into a digital format.
Hockney's technique in this piece leverages the iPad's capabilities, allowing for layering and precision that distinguishes it from traditional paintings. The digital medium enables a unique texture and fluidity, with up to 120 layers used in some of his iPad works. This piece is part of the My Normandy series, which celebrates the natural splendour of the region surrounding his home. The series, comprising 116 works created over 140 days, demonstrates Hockney's prolific output and his ability to capture seasonal changes.
