Meaning & Analysis
24th February 2021, Red, Yellow And Purple Flowers On A Blue Tablecloth is an iPad painting by David Hockney, printed on paper in an edition of 50. Created in 2021, it depicts a vibrant floral arrangement on a blue gingham tablecloth set against a burgundy background. This work is part of Hockney's series of 20 flower iPad paintings the artist created during the global pandemic.
In this piece, Hockney employs his iPad to create a vivid still life. The composition features a glass vase containing red, yellow, and purple-pink flowers, set on a blue gingham tablecloth against a rich burgundy background. The contrasting colours create a dynamic visual effect, with the blue tablecloth enhancing the vibrancy of the floral arrangement.
Hockney's use of the iPad as a medium is evident in the digital brushstrokes and layered colours, which retain a painterly quality despite their digital origins. The artist's manipulation of the digital tools allows for a unique blend of precision and spontaneity in the rendering of the flowers and tablecloth pattern.
This work is one of the flower drawings Hockney created on his iPad in 2021, expanding on a series he began in 2020 while quarantining in Normandy, France. The series reflects Hockney's ongoing fascination with still life subjects and his ability to adapt new technologies to his artistic practice.
