Yosemite No. 12, 2010: iPad print from the Yosemite Suite

Back TO: Yosemite suite

Yosemite No. 12 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the artist’s Yosemite Suite. The composition captures a vibrant Yosemite landscape, where stylised evergreen trees in layered green tones rise before luminous hills and distant purple cliffs beneath a bright blue sky. Hockney uses bold colour contrasts and expressive digital brushwork to create rhythm, depth, and atmosphere across the scene, while the simplified forms reinforce the structure and scale of the landscape. The work reflects Hockney’s continued exploration of perspective, colour, and the expressive possibilities of digital drawing.

Created entirely on iPad, the Yosemite Suite represents a significant moment in Hockney’s digital practice, combining direct landscape observation with contemporary technology. Produced during the artist’s engagement with Yosemite National Park, the series captures changing light, texture, and spatial relationships with immediacy and precision. The Yosemite works are now regarded among the most important digital landscapes within Hockney’s wider body of prints and editions, demonstrating how digital media could expand the visual language of landscape art.
