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.
"These dream prints are like capturing a star or a heartbeat. It’s the same explosion of colour and movement, trapped in time and space. It feels like the paint is still dripping when you first see it. The print is a powerful memory of that moment the painting was made and a way of holding onto something joyous and full of life yet fleeting."
About The Dreams
In The Dreams, delicate butterflies appear suspended in motion, juxtaposed against a background of swirling, vibrant colours that seem to explode across the canvas in bold and unpredictable patterns.
Spin painting involves applying paint to a rotating surface, with the resulting pattern determined by colour choice and machine motion. Hirst views the paint's fluid and spontaneous movement as a metaphor for life and the necessity of constant change.
Butterflies are among Hirst’s recurring trademarks, which he describes as a ‘universal trigger’ encompassing love, beauty and the ephemerality of life. Throughout his career, he has created multiple series exploring themes of religion, philosophy, and history through butterfly imagery.
