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 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 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.

As the kaleidoscopes are a limited editions release, HENI tries to ensure that the prints are sold broadly and fairly (rather than on a ‘first come, first served’ basis). You can apply for multiple artworks from The Kaleidoscopes, however, HENI cannot guarantee that you will be offered the opportunity to buy every print you apply for.
If you selected the Complete Fulfilment option during the application process, HENI will only satisfy your application if we are able to fulfil your entire application. If you selected the Partial Fulfilment option during the application process, HENI may offer you the opportunity to purchase some of the editions you applied for, but not all. Choosing Partial Fulfilment may increase your chances of being successfully allocated. HENI will carefully review each application and aims to start notifying successful applicants over the coming weeks after the application period has closed.
