Yosemite Suite No. 11 is a striking iPad drawing from David Hockney’s pioneering Yosemite Suite series, which showcases scenes from the majestic Yosemite National Park through digital artistry. Hockney, known for his deep appreciation of nature, frequently featured Yosemite National Park in his 1980s landscapes, using it as a backdrop to reconnect with nature’s vivid colours and forces. The giant sequoias of Yosemite, among the oldest and tallest living trees, stand as a testament to the park’s grandeur. In Yosemite Suite No. 11, Hockney employs the iPad to create a scene that seems both flat and multi-dimensional. The artwork features two of Yosemite’s iconic giant ponderosa pines, rendered in rich, leafy greens and verdant tones. These trees are set against an abstract backdrop of cliffs and sky, created with dots, splotches, and shading. Despite being a digital creation, Hockney’s use of colour and texture gives the image a strikingly three-dimensional quality, showcasing his artistic vision and adaptability in the digital medium.
