    Plug in for the Next Generation, 2011 is a 25-edition print release created as part of David Hockney's iPad drawings. Depicting an electronics charger, likely Apple's, against a lined background, the simple composition allows the viewer to admire the light presented. The shadows and highlights demonstrate Hockney's attention to detail, even for objects that often go unnoticed in our lives.

These pieces exemplify Hockney’s continued exploration of technology, rendered with a bold palette and confident linework.
