The application window is open for two days only, from 23 April until 18:00 BST on 25 April. Each application will be reviewed individually, and a manual allocation will take place to ensure fair and broad distribution.
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."
All of the prints are on display at the HENI Gallery for the duration of the drop. Admission to the gallery is free, with no appointment required.
