n this artwork, Hockney employs his iPad to create a composition that contrasts vibrant yellow flowers against a subdued background. The digital medium allows for precise control over colour intensity and texture. The milk churn, rendered in cool blues and greys, provides a stark contrast to the bright yellow petals, creating a dynamic visual balance.
This piece is part of Hockney's broader series of iPad drawings, which he began producing in 2009 using the Brushes app. The series represents his adaptation to digital tools, allowing him to capture the transient beauty of nature with immediacy. The flowers are rendered with bold, confident strokes, while the background maintains a softer, more muted quality.
Hockney created this work during the COVID-19 pandemic at his home in Normandy, France. It reflects his continued productivity and adaptability in challenging circumstances. The artwork connects to the long tradition of still life painting while firmly placing itself in the 21st century through its digital execution.
