Yosemite No. 22, 2010: iPad print from the Yosemite Suite

Back to: Yosemite suite

Yosemite No. 22 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the artist’s Yosemite Suite. The composition depicts a vivid Yosemite National Park landscape, featuring a towering golden cliff face rising behind dense greenery, a bright yellow tree with a pink-toned trunk, and scattered foreground rocks. Hockney uses strong tonal contrasts and expressive digital brushwork to create depth, movement, and atmosphere throughout the scene, while the layered composition reinforces the scale and structure 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 marked an important development 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 seasonal 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, demonstrating how digital media could expand the visual language of contemporary landscape art.
