About The Kaleidoscopes
The Kaleidoscopes by Damien Hirst continue the artist’s decades-long exploration of brightly coloured butterfly wings arranged in geometric patterns. The meticulously structured, symmetrical compositions, set against vivid backdrops create a dynamic visual effect, where the butterflies seem to shift and rotate before the viewer's eyes.
Inspired by Victorian tea trays decorated with butterfly wings, Hirst’s butterfly arrangements, not unlike the rows of specimens pinned in Victorian cabinets, invite reflection on the complex relationship between life, death and the desire to preserve fleeting beauty. The Victorian era’s fascination with nature and scientific classification resonates with Hirst's practice, as both draw on the idea of cataloguing and preserving the ephemeral.
