Upon discovering the iPhone as a medium for art, David Hockney unlocked a whole new realm of painting possibilities. In the spring of 2009, he created his initial digital drawings, finding the iPhone easy to use and incredibly convenient – he could start his creative day right from his bed, sketching morning impressions with bold lines and vivid colours directly on the screen. As his artistic journey progressed, he embraced the iPad in 2010, appreciating its larger display that expanded his creative repertoire, allowing for a more intricate interplay of colour, light, and line.

Each artwork captures a fleeting moment, spanning from the vibrant sunrise and picturesque morning skies to the enchanting nighttime impressions and the emergence of spring. In this collection, fascinating details come to life – drops of rain on window panes, distant lights illuminating the night, reflections dancing on glasses, bottles, and vases, and a rich array of subtly varied vegetation. Through the eyes of David Hockney, we experience the passage of time, each drawing encapsulating a unique moment in life.

This artist's book is a stunning large-format edition with brilliant resolution, featuring 120 drawings created between 2009 and 2012. The artworks are thoughtfully arranged by the artist himself in chronological order, offering an immersive journey through Hockney's digital explorations and showcasing his mastery of this innovative medium.
