    Yosemite No. 14 is part of a 25-edition print release for Hockney's stunning Yosemite Suite. This piece highlights a pale, stylised tree at the centre, its curved limbs outlined in green against a deep blue sky, flanked by dense foliage and abstract black linework.
     
    With this suite, Hockney demonstrates how artistic essence can transcend medium. His iPad-rendered Yosemite scenes retain the lyrical energy and compositional discipline of traditional painting.
  • "I have never seen an ugly natural landscape"

    - David Hockney

    Measuring 37" x 28", Yosemite No. 14 captures the serene beauty of Yosemite's natural landscape, focusing on a lone, slender tree bathed in soft, glowing light. The tree, with its delicate branches highlighted in white, stands out against the deep blue background, creating a striking contrast that emphasizes its form and elegance. The use of vibrant green tones for the surrounding foliage adds depth and richness to the scene, while the background remains minimalistic, allowing the tree to take center stage. Hockney's use of digital techniques to render this piece results in a modern, yet timeless, portrayal of nature's quiet splendor.
