Meaning & Analysis
The Arrival Of Spring In Woldgate, East Yorkshire 2nd January 2011 is a digital print by David Hockney, created in 2011. This iPad drawing, printed on paper, depicts a winter scene in East Yorkshire, capturing the subtle changes at the beginning of spring. The work is part of Hockney's series documenting the seasonal transformation in Woldgate, comprising 52 iPad drawings created between January and May 2011.
This digital print exemplifies Hockney's adoption of the iPad as an artistic medium. The composition features a pathway through a wooded area, with bare trees and early signs of spring vegetation. Hockney's technique involves layering digital brushstrokes to create depth and texture, effectively capturing the essence of the Yorkshire landscape.
The use of digital technology allows Hockney to capture fleeting moments and subtle colour variations with precision. This approach represents a significant shift in his artistic practice, blending traditional landscape painting techniques with contemporary digital tools. The iPad drawings in this series were created on location, with Hockney returning to the same spots throughout the season to document the changing landscape.
