Meaning & Analysis
The Arrival Of Spring In Woldgate, East Yorkshire 2nd January 2011 by David Hockney is a digital print created in 2011. It depicts the early signs of spring in East Yorkshire, showcasing Hockney's interest in seasonal changes. This work is part of his series capturing the transformation of Woldgate throughout the year. This particular work captures a road in Woldgate after a spate of rain, as evidenced by the reflective puddle in the lower left corner of the composition.
Like other works in The Arrival Of Spring series, this work offers a striking representation of nature's renewal. The digital print, created using an iPad, features a pathway flanked by trees, their bare branches hinting at the promise of spring. The distinctive use of pinks in this work capture the warm light hitting the wet ground on this particular day of the series, and Hockney's light mark making in the background suggests of the greenery extending deep into the picture plane.
The work's dynamic lines and colour palette reflect the artist's ongoing exploration of form and light in landscape painting. By choosing to depict the 2nd of January, Hockney captures the very beginning of spring, highlighting the cyclical nature of seasons and the subtle beauty of this transitional period.
