Untitled No. 224
Signed Print

The composition features a striped mug and a potted plant, rendered with bold colours and dynamic brushstrokes. The deep purple background provides a strong contrast to the green leaves and pink flower, creating a visually compelling image. Hockney's technique of using an iPad to draw and then printing the image on wove paper demonstrates his pioneering approach to integrating traditional and modern methods. This piece is part of a series of iPad drawings that Hockney produced in 2010, reflecting his continuous experimentation with new media. The artwork's playful yet sophisticated style is characteristic of Hockney's broader body of work, which often explores everyday objects and scenes with a fresh perspective. The use of digital tools allows for a unique texture and fluidity, distinguishing this piece within his extensive oeuvre.
