David Hockney

The present iPad drawings are from the series of 49 works of this scale from David Hockney’s celebrated Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011 series. One of the artist’s most vibrant and ambitious explorations of landscape, perception, and technological possibility, the series comprises dozens of images, each documenting subtle shifts in colour, light and atmosphere. Instead of presenting a single, authoritative view of spring, Hockney constructs a visual diary of its progress by returning repeatedly to the same stretch of Woldgate and showing the landscape as something experienced over time rather than frozen in an instant.
