White Rose, 2009

White Rose, 2009 is a 25-edition print release created as part of David Hockney's iPhone drawings. This piece is simply a portrayal of a single white rose on a yellow backdrop. The pared back composition allows the viewer to focus only on the subject itself. The wide strokes may have be due to the medium Hockney employed, but the clear marks are a style he continued in several of the later digital works.
