Yosemite No. 9, 2010: iPad print on paper from David Hockney's Yosemite Suite

Back to: Yosemite suite

Yosemite No. 9 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the artist’s Yosemite Suite. The composition portrays a sunlit Yosemite landscape, with vibrant green trees and red-tinted branches positioned before distant lavender woodland and golden mountain forms beneath a soft blue sky. Hockney uses layered digital brushwork and bold tonal contrasts to create depth and atmosphere across the scene, while the simplified forms and vivid colour palette reinforce the rhythm and structure of the landscape. The work reflects Hockney’s continued exploration of perspective, light, and the expressive possibilities of digital drawing.

Created entirely on iPad, the Yosemite Suite represents a significant moment 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 spatial complexity 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, reinforcing his influence on contemporary digital drawing.
