Colourful spots, animals frozen in time, glorious butterfly wings and a skull set with diamonds are just some icons of Damien Hirst’s boundary-redefining career. Internationally recognised for his irreverent approach to artmaking, blurring the lines between media and expanding their possibilities, Hirst has helped set contemporary art on a practically limitless course. Through a decisive interplay of technology, technique and material, Hirst’s artworks engage with his signature themes of love, death, religion, science, belief and beauty to create works that are both visually and conceptually compelling.

Hirst was born in 1965 in Bristol, grew up in Leeds and moved to London in 1984. While studying at Goldsmiths School of Art from 1986-89, Hirst invented two fundamental series: his ongoing ‘Spot Paintings’, made up of meticulously rendered spheres of random colours arranged in perfect grid systems; and his ‘Medicine Cabinets’, an early investigation into science, medicine and systems of belief and trust that resurfaces across his oeuvre.  

In 1992, Hirst unveiled arguably his most iconic work ‘The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living’ (1991), a four-metre-long tiger shark preserved in a tank of formaldehyde, and inserted his ‘Natural History’ series into the public consciousness. These sculptures simultaneously confront viewers with their own mortality and the unavoidable fate of death.

Hirst’s enduring confrontations with death emerge again in his butterfly works. Since his 1991 exhibition ‘In and Out of Love’, he has continued to readapt the butterfly motif. Hirst produces awe-inspiring compositions using their wings, as in his ‘Kaleidoscope’ series began in 2001, a formula that has entered a new chapter in the HENI prints series ‘The Aspects’ (H6, 2019), ‘The Elements’ (H6, 2020) and ‘The Empresses’ (H10, 2022). In these collections, the technology and materiality of the prints advance the symbolic resonance of the butterfly, standing for the possibility of beauty in death. 

Since 1994, Hirst has produced his joyful ‘Spin Paintings’. These works are made with minimal artist intervention, the final product reliant only on colour choice and force of movement. These paintings inspired ‘Enter the Infinite’ (H1, 2016), 12 jacquard-woven tapestries that constitute further delegation of the artistic process to a machine. ‘The joy of colour’ and colour relationships are themes to which Hirst frequently returns, as in ‘Colour Charts’ (2012), ‘Colour Space’ (2016), ‘Veil Paintings’ (2017) and their eponymous print series. 

In 2017, Hirst revealed ‘Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable’, which include hundreds of sculptures and drawings apparently salvaged from a shipwreck. This project foregrounded Hirst’s interest in belief systems, questioning structures that attract trust and value. Hirst’s 2021 project ‘The Currency’ further explores this idea, asking collectors to choose between the traditional medium of painting and the contemporary NFT, forcing them to put faith in where they see value. 

From 2018-20, Hirst produced ‘Cherry Blossoms’. The monumental canvases, entirely covered in dense, bright colours, envelop the viewer in a vast landscape of blooming trees that traverses the boundaries of figuration and abstraction. From these works, Hirst made his ‘Fruitful & Forever’ (H8, 2020) and ‘The Virtues’ (H9, 2021) print series, playfully presenting macro and micro details of the paintings that bring their tactile impasto to the fore. 

Hirst’s name is synonymous with contemporary art, continually pushing the boundaries of traditional approaches to and conceptions of the artwork. Hirst’s prints, editions and multiples are a fundamental part of this practice. Though wide-ranging in nature, together these works are magnificent exercises in how technique, technology and materiality can be manipulated to enhance the discourse and reception of Hirst’s subjects. 

Damien Hirst

Colourful spots, animals frozen in time, glorious butterfly wings and a skull set with diamonds are just some icons of Damien Hirst’s boundary-redefining career. Internationally recognised for his irreverent approach to artmaking, blurring the lines between media and expanding their possibilities, Hirst has helped set contemporary art on a practically limitless course. Through a decisive interplay of technology, technique and material, Hirst’s artworks engage with his signature themes of love, death, religion, science, belief and beauty to create works that are both visually and conceptually compelling.

Since his 2001 ‘Kaleidoscope Paintings’ series emerged, Damien Hirst has produced awe-inspiring works in which his butterfly motif is arranged into dreamy kaleidoscopic patterns, among the most entrancing being ‘Mercy’. Part of ‘The Aspects’ (H6, 2019) series, Hirst’s artwork portrays intricately placed images of butterfly wings, each in various shades of blue.  

‘Mercy’ joins a lineage of Hirst’s works inspired by Victorian tea trays decorated with intricate patterns of butterfly wings. In the present work, various sizes of single and paired butterfly wings are carefully arranged, apparently billowing out from the centre of the work in perfect symmetry. While these butterflies are not real, they have the power of convincing viewers of otherwise, their delicate details superbly captured.  

Named for one of the characteristics of God as detailed in the Old Testament, ‘Mercy’ builds on Hirst’s interest in the butterfly motif as spiritual symbol, having been used in Christian imagery to signify resurrection. The connection to Christian imagery and symbology is further strengthened in the stained glass-like effects of ‘’Mercy’. Not only do these wings recall carefully cut pieces of glass set into black lead cames, but they also appear illuminated, as if lit from behind. Fusing this religious symbolism with his perennial fascination with the butterfly’s ability to retain an exquisite beauty in death just as in life, here Hirst establishes the insect as an uplifting and radiant symbol of mortality.  

Mercy

Damien Hirst’s ‘The Aspects’ (H6) captures to a remarkable degree the sensation of looking through a kaleidoscope. Produced in collaboration with Fondation Beyeler in Switzerland in 2019, ‘The Aspects’ sees a reprisal of Hirst’s characteristic butterfly motif through a series of five unique prints in which the artist continues his search into the butterfly’s potentials as a spiritual and existential metaphor. 

In ‘Grace’, Damien Hirst made use of his iconic butterfly motif to produce a magnificently entrancing work. The intricate patterns of butterfly wings on Victorian tea trays inspired him to construct his butterflies into complex patterns, leading him to produce ‘Grace’.  

‘Grace’, a print from ‘The Aspects’ (H6, 2019), depicts butterfly wings of various sizes in peaceful hues of blue and white. Arranged in perfectly symmetrical patterns, these wings emanate out from the vertical and horizontal axis, and then diagonally thereafter to create kaleidoscope-like patterns. Arranged in pairs or individually, these wings are not real but appear otherwise, their every minute detail captured in high definition.

Fusing this religious symbolism with his perennial fascination with the butterfly’s ability to retain an exquisite beauty in death just as in life, here Hirst establishes the insect as an uplifting and radiant symbol of mortality.  

Grace

The patterns of butterfly wings employed by Damien Hirst in ‘Patience’, rendered in various hues of blue and white, are remarkable. A kaleidoscopic composition from ‘The Aspects’ (H6, 2019), Hirst first began allocating his butterfly motif into intricate patterns in 2001 with his ‘Kaleidoscope Paintings’ series. 

Variously sized single and paired wings emanate from the work’s centre, producing a concentric circle at its base that is surrounded by complimenting arrangements. What is perhaps most striking about this pattern is the strong black lines that diagonally cross to meet each corner. With the wings set against a black background, the lines shoot through pairs of wings where the butterfly bodies once existed.  

While these butterfly wings are not real, the present artwork manages to capture their every detail, each delicate line and subtle colour variation. These details enliven the butterflies, as do Hirst’s stained glass-like illuminations. Fascinated by the spiritual symbolism associated with butterflies, having been used by the Greeks to depict Psyche, the soul, and in Christian imagery to signify the resurrection, Hirst arranged the wings like a Gothic window. Appearing like pieces of glass lit from behind, the wings are imbued with a godliness. 

Patience

Like a kaleidoscope, various hues of blue and white butterfly wings are allocated into intricate patterns in Damien Hirst’s ‘Goodness’, a striking print from ‘The Aspects’ (H6, 2019). The logic of the present composition, defined by a rigorous geometric pattern, is derived from the Hirst’s encounter with intricate patterns of butterfly wings on Victorian tea trays. 

Emanating out from the centre of ‘Goodness’ are single and paired wings arranged into six-point star patterns, the four corners of the picture plane filled with further wings. The composition is symmetrical, the patterns repeated exactly across the work and sectioned by 12 black lines that emerge from the centre to evenly divide the composition.  

Set against a black background, these butterfly wings are not real but appear lifelike as the superb quality of the present edition manages to capture their every detail. This liveliness is further enhanced by their apparent illumination, recollective of Gothic stained glass windows. Fascinated by the spiritual symbolism inherent to butterflies, which have been used by the Greeks to depict Psyche, the soul, and in Christian imagery to signify the resurrection, Hirst rendered the wings like pieces of glass lit from behind, enhancing their mystical qualities. 

Goodness

‘Truth’ is perhaps Damien Hirst’s most distinct work from ‘The Aspects’ (H6, 2019) series for its relatively simple, yet no less captivating, composition of butterfly wings. The present work is derived from the logic of his 2001 ‘Kaleidoscope Paintings’ series, inspired by the intricate patterns of butterfly wings on Victorian tea trays. 

In ‘Truth’, various hues of blue and white butterfly wings assemble into entirely symmetric concentric circles which emanate from the centre. In pairs or single, the differently sized wings are arranged such that the black background emerges through their centres to produce 24 lines, dividing the composition.  

Though these wings are not real, they are positively captivating as their every detail is captured through the present media, effectively giving the illusion of the real insect. This liveliness is enhanced by their stained glass-like nature. Fascinated by the spiritual symbolism inherent to butterflies, which had been used by the Greeks to depict Psyche, the soul, and in Christian imagery to signify the resurrection, Hirst’s arrangement recalls the famous Gothic rose window. The wings appear like pieces of coloured glass illuminated from behind, adding an undeniable spirituality to the composition.

Damien Hirst’s ‘The Aspects’ (H6) captures to a remarkable degree the sensation of looking through a kaleidoscope. Produced in collaboration with Fondation Beyeler in Switzerland in 2019, ‘The Aspects’ sees a reprisal of Hirst’s characteristic butterfly motif through a series of five unique prints in which the artist continues his search into the butterfly’s potentials as a spiritual and existential metaphor.

In ‘The Aspects’ Hirst carefully arranges images of disembodied butterfly wings in vivid blue hues into transfixing, kaleidoscopic patterns. Playing with the different shapes and colours of the wings, Hirst assembles rigorous geometric patterns reminiscent of the mathematical divisions of his ‘Enter the Infinite’ (H1, 2016) tapestries. In ‘The Aspects’, butterflies, though strictly organised images, nonetheless mimic swarms of insects in active flight. 

For centuries the butterfly has acquired symbolism across religions, but particularly present in ‘The Aspects’ is the Christian faith – each print is named for a characteristic of God’s nature as described in the texts of the Old Testament. Traditionally used in art and literature to signify the resurrection of Christ, Hirst here embraces the mythical sensibility of the butterfly and attaches it to these five universally positive qualities – Mercy, Grace, Patience, Goodness and Truth. Fusing this religious symbolism with his perennial fascination with the butterfly’s ability to retain an exquisite beauty in death just as in life, here Hirst establishes the insect as an uplifting and radiant symbol of mortality. 

Inspired by Victorian tea trays, in 2001 Hirst produced his first ‘Kaleidoscope Painting’, a series which laid the groundwork for not only the complicated, almost scientific organisation of ‘The Aspects’, but also for its stained glass-like quality. While the ‘Kaleidoscope Paintings’ draw direct connections to stained glass windows, even modelling their compositions after existing ones, ‘The Aspects’ refer to the medium’s long association with Christian spirituality through the translucent nature of the wings. The butterfly wings resembling pieces of glass and the black background imitating lead cames, the compositions glow as if made of glass and lit from behind. 

‘The Aspects’ marks an early attempt by Hirst to harness the possibilities of Giclée print on aluminium composite panels, which has permitted him imitate the effects of his butterfly paintings without actually using insects. With this series mounted on Diasec, the images of the butterfly wings are rendered in such fine detail as to seem life-like, the shiny surface of the prints adding to the luminosity of the butterflies’ rich colours. As such, the scientific nature of this study is not lost, capturing the detail, vibrancy and delicacy of the wings in high resolution.
