Meaning & Analysis
My Bedroom Window by David Hockney, created in 2009, is an iPhone drawing printed on paper. This digital print depicts a vase containing a singular flower, delineated in brown, on a window sill which is rendered in red, green, and pale yellow.
My Bedroom Window exemplifies Hockney's transition into digital art, utilising the iPhone's touchscreen to create spontaneous compositions. The artwork features a windowsill adorned with a vase of flowers, framing the Yorkshire countryside beyond. Hockney's characteristic bold colour palette is evident, with a vibrant red leading the viewer's eye from the bottom of the composition, to the vase containing the flower, to the roof of a neighbouring house outside the window.
This digital medium allowed Hockney to experiment with layering and transparency, resulting in a distinctive interplay of light and colour. The immediacy of the iPhone as a tool enabled him to capture fleeting moments and changing light conditions with unprecedented ease. This approach aligns with Hockney's long-standing interest in exploring new technologies, from his earlier use of Polaroid cameras to photocopiers.
