The present work features a striking red flower explosion from a dark centre, demonstrating Hockney's innovative approach to "painting with light" directly on the iPad screen. This work emerged during a particularly productive period when Hockney embraced digital technology as a new artistic medium, allowing him to draw freely and rapidly with an extensive colour palette at his fingertips.
It exemplifies his lifelong commitment to exploring new artistic mediums. Hockney's transition to iPad drawings in 2010 marked a natural progression in his artistic evolution, demonstrating how he successfully translated his distinctive style and masterful mark-making into a digital format while maintaining the spontaneity and vibrancy characteristic of his traditional works.
