In 2011, Louisiana presented an exhibition of Hockney's works on iPads - because they were simply born on iPads. The exhibition poster for the work, Me Draw on iPad, was created by Hockney while he was visiting the museum for the exhibition.

David Hockney began working with his iPhone in 2008. He later added "Brush" and other applications, which enabled him to produce works of great variety. Since then, Hockney has created hundreds of works on both iPhone and iPad: flowers, plants, portraits, self-portraits, landscapes and still lifes.

In the early works, Hockney used his thumb and other fingers to create the color images directly on the screen and to modify the color, thickness, and transparency of the individual strokes.

David Hockney is loved by many for his ability to touch the ordinary - what the world mostly consists of. He likes to let it float a little, so that we become involved, because Hockney both offers a motif and that we ourselves involve ourselves in processing what is seen.

David Hockney currently resides in Normandy, where he constantly experiments with materials and captures local atmospheres with his fantastic line and sure sense of color.
