Untitled No. 281 by David Hockney is an iPad drawing created on 23rd July 2010 and printed in 2019. This inkjet print on cotton-fibre archival paper depicts a vibrant red poppy in a glass vase, set against a window backdrop. The piece exemplifies Hockney's innovative use of digital technology within his broader exploration of still life and nature.
Untitled No. 281 showcases David Hockney's adeptness at merging traditional artistic themes with modern technology. The composition centres on a striking red poppy, rendered with fluid digital brushstrokes that capture the flower's delicate texture. The glass vase, intricately detailed, contrasts with the bold, simplified background of green shutters and an orange surface.
Hockney's use of the iPad as a medium represents a significant evolution in his artistic practice, allowing for spontaneous creativity and vibrant colour application. The piece is part of Hockney's My Window series, which documents the changing views from his Yorkshire home. This series reflects his ongoing fascination with capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature through innovative means.
