David Hockney's My Shirt and Trousers is an iPad drawing printed on wove paper that reflects the artist’s continued exploration of digital media and everyday subjects. The composition depicts a striped shirt and a pair of trousers casually draped over an armchair, transforming an ordinary domestic moment into a vivid study of colour, form, and texture. As with many works from this period, Hockney turns his attention to familiar objects within his immediate surroundings, revealing the expressive potential of the everyday.

The clothing and chair are rendered through bold, energetic lines and a vibrant palette. Hockney’s use of the iPad allows for a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, visible in the fluid contours of the fabric and the varied textures that distinguish the striped shirt, the soft folds of the trousers, and the plush surface of the armchair. These gestural marks give the composition a lively rhythm, suggesting both movement and the lingering presence of the absent wearer.

Part of a broader body of digital drawings focused on domestic interiors, My Shirt and Trousers demonstrates Hockney’s fascination with colour relationships and simplified forms. The work also echoes aspects of his earlier engagement with Pop Art, where everyday objects were elevated into subjects of artistic significance. Through the use of contemporary technology, Hockney reinvents the still life tradition, showing how digital tools can capture the vitality and intimacy of ordinary life.
