Meaning & Analysis
The Yosemite Suite 15 by David Hockney, created in 2010, is an iPad drawing printed on paper. This piece captures the landscape of Yosemite National Park, depicting towering mountains and lush greenery. As part of Hockney's broader exploration of digital media, this work exemplifies his innovative approach to traditional landscape art.
The composition features a dynamic interplay of colours and intricate digital brushstrokes, highlighting the park's iconic mountains and verdant forests. Hockney's technique involves layering up to 30 individual brushstrokes for each element, creating depth and texture that bridges his traditional painting skills with modern digital tools. This method allows for rapid colour changes and easy undoing of strokes, offering a flexibility not found in traditional media.
Compared to other works in the series, such as The Yosemite Suite 1, which focuses on a building in the national park, The Yosemite Suite 15 offers a broader landscape view populated by human figures, showcasing Hockney's versatility within the digital medium. This series marks a pivotal moment in Hockney's career, bridging his traditional landscape paintings with contemporary digital art practices.
