Yosemite No. 15, 2010: iPad print on paper by David Hockney

Back to: Yosemite suite

Yosemite No. 15 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the artist’s Yosemite Suite. The composition depicts a scenic Yosemite overlook, where simplified human figures stand before sunlit cliffs, deep blue mountain forms, and layered green forests beneath a soft grey sky. Hockney uses vivid tonal contrasts and expressive digital brushwork to create depth and atmosphere across the landscape, while the inclusion of figures introduces scale and perspective within the vast natural setting. The work reflects Hockney’s continued exploration of observation, spatial complexity, and the expressive possibilities of digital drawing.

Created entirely on iPad, the Yosemite Suite marked an important development in Hockney’s digital practice, demonstrating how contemporary technology could expand the visual language of landscape art. Produced during the artist’s engagement with Yosemite National Park, the series captures changing light, texture, and atmosphere with immediacy and precision. The Yosemite works are now regarded among the most significant digital landscapes within Hockney’s wider body of prints and editions, reinforcing Hockney’s influence on contemporary digital drawing.
