Created using an iPad, this digital print reflects Hockney’s ongoing exploration of new media and his lifelong fascination with colour, light, and the everyday beauty of the world around him.
In this work, vibrant pink blooms burst forth against a soft background, rendered with a freshness and immediacy that belies their digital origin. The composition is both spontaneous and carefully constructed, capturing the fleeting essence of flowers in full bloom while echoing the traditions of still-life painting. Hockney’s brushwork, simulated yet expressive, emphasises texture and gesture, drawing attention to the act of seeing.
Untitled 535 is part of a broader body of work in which Hockney reinvents the language of floral imagery through contemporary tools. Far from being nostalgic or decorative, the work offers a modern mediation on time, transience, and artistic reinvention. It invites viewers to pause and appreciate the subtle joy of nature as filtered through Hockney’s ever-evolving gaze.
