Damien Hirst
Damien Hirst is a British artist whose name has become synonymous with contemporary art. Since his generative work as a student at Goldsmiths School of Art, Hirst's production has been boundary−redefining in nature. Working primarily in installation, painting, sculpture and drawing, Hirst explores the complex relationships between art, beauty, religion, science, life and death. He constantly returns to his foundational interests and themes, which he reworks to develop an innovative visual language.
About The Archangels
The Archangels prints are based on four quadriptychs from Damien Hirst’s Cherry Blossoms series. The original works were named after the archangels Raphael, Uriel, Michael and Gabriel respectively. Speaking of the Cherry Blossoms series, Hirst said:
"The Cherry Blossoms are about beauty and life and death…They’re decorative but taken from nature. They’re about desire and how we process the things around us and what we turn them into, but also about the insane visual transience of beauty – a tree in full crazy blossom against a clear sky."

In total there are 100 prints and 20 APs (Artists Proofs) for each edition in The Archangels release.
APs of these editions are not for sale. This is the case for all our editions.
The editions are Giclée prints on archival fine art paper, measuring 60.5 x 152.5 cm each. Each work is hand-signed by the artist and numbered on the front. The prints come framed in a walnut frame with Tru Vue Optium Acrylic Glass which virtually eliminates reflections and filters up to 93% of UV rays. Its anti-static protection immediately dissipates static, and its light transmission brighten colours and contrast levels. It has a durable hard coat that protects against scratches and its shatter resistance safeguards against injury and damage to artwork and can be cleaned like glass, so no special acrylic cleaners needed.
The Archangels do not come with a certificate of authenticity; however, each work is hand-signed by the artist and numbered on the front.
