Yosemite No. 2, 2010: David Hockney iPad print from the Yosemite Suite

Back To: Yosemite suite

Yosemite No. 2 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the artist’s Yosemite Suite. The composition depicts Yosemite’s towering granite cliffs rising above dense pine forests, with pale rock faces streaked with vivid blue tonal accents beneath a softly clouded sky. Hockney uses layered digital brushwork and strong colour contrasts to emphasise the scale and monumentality of the landscape, while the surrounding trees create depth and structure across the composition. The work reflects Hockney’s continued interest in perspective, atmosphere, and the relationship between natural forms and digital image-making.

Created entirely on iPad, the Yosemite Suite marked an important development in Hockney’s digital practice, demonstrating how new technology could expand the possibilities of landscape drawing and printmaking. Produced during the artist’s engagement with Yosemite National Park, the series captures the shifting light, texture, and spatial complexity of the Californian landscape with immediacy and precision. The Yosemite works are now regarded among the most significant digital landscapes within Hockney’s wider body of printed editions.
