David Hockney’s Computer Drawings collection, created in 2008 using Photoshop, marks one of the artist’s earliest ventures into digital art. These innovative digital drawings explore a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, still life and portraiture. By merging traditional artistic sensibilities with computer-based techniques, Hockney demonstrated how digital technology could be harnessed to expand the language of contemporary art.

As pioneering examples of Hockney’s digital works, these images laid the foundation for his more celebrated iPad drawings, including the Arrival of Spring in Woldgate series and his Yosemite landscapes. Together, they illustrate Hockney’s embrace of technology as a creative tool and his continual evolution as a leading figure in modern and digital art.
