Meaning & Analysis
This 2009 print by David Hockney, created using an iPad and printed on wove paper, depicts a single white rose in a vase, set against a citrine yellow background.

White Rose features a solitary white rose in a vase, set against a yellow background. The bold, fluid strokes and vibrant colours are characteristic of Hockney's style, and speak to his embrace of the iPad in his practice. The simplicity of the subject matter - a single rose - allows the viewer to observe each and every digital brushtroke made on the picture plane. White Rose sits within Hockney's broader oeuvre, which often explores themes of nature and still life, while also expanding the possibilities of how art can be created and experienced in the modern age.
