    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 14 May, 2011, presents a rural lane as late spring takes hold in Yorkshire. The softly pink coloured track is filtered through overhead branches, where pale blossom and fresh foliage cast broken light across the surface below. Subtle variations in pink and mauve tones suggest shifting shade, while emerging leaves, tall grasses, and scattered wildflowers along the verge signal the season’s steady progression.

     

    Across this work and the wider series, David Hockney’s enduring fascination with landscape is matched by his sensitivity to light and colour. Rather than recording a fixed view, he allows changes in illumination, hue, and perspective to shape each image, giving the scene a sense of movement and immediacy. For a broader view of how this approach has developed throughout his career, you can read our Journey Through Art and Innovation article.
