Yosemite No. 16, 2010: Print by David Hockney from the Yosemite Suite

Back to: Yosemite suite

Yosemite No. 16 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the artist’s Yosemite Suite. The composition presents a densely wooded Yosemite landscape, where expressive black-outlined trees rise from a layered green forest floor rendered in vivid turquoise and deep green tones. Hockney uses energetic digital mark-making and strong tonal contrasts to create rhythm, movement, and depth throughout the woodland scene, while the overlapping forms reinforce the atmosphere and spatial complexity 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 a significant development in Hockney’s digital practice, combining traditional landscape observation with contemporary technology. 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 important digital landscapes within Hockney’s wider body of prints and editions, demonstrating how digital media could expand the visual language of contemporary landscape art.
