Untitled No. 121 is a digital print created by David Hockney in 2009. Released in an edition of 25, this piece is part of his series of iPhone and iPad drawings, which began in 2009 and comprises over 400 works. The digital medium allows Hockney to explore his long-standing interest in still life subjects through a contemporary technological approach.
In this digital still life, Hockney turns to his iPhone as both canvas and brush, embracing new technology to reimagine a traditional subject. Untitled No. 121 presents a bouquet of lilies, their delicate petals rendered in fluid, expressive digital brushstrokes. Set against bold, leafy green forms and a vibrant yellow backdrop, the composition captures a striking contrast between fragility and strength, exemplifying Hockney’s masterful sense of balance.
This work exemplifies Hockney's innovative use of the iPhone as a medium, embracing technology to explore traditional subjects through a contemporary lens. The immediacy afforded by the portable device allows for spontaneous mark-making and a dynamic exploration of colour, reflecting Hockney's continual evolution as an artist and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
