    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.

    - David Hockney

    The digital works capture vibrant landscapes, still lifes, and intimate portraits with a modern twist. Hockney's use of digital media highlights his adaptability and willingness to experiment with contemporary tools, blending traditional artistic techniques with cutting-edge technology to produce visually striking and evocative images. These pieces exemplify Hockney’s continued exploration of technology, rendered with a bold palette and confident linework.
