The Empress
The Empresses is a series of five glorious prints depicting carefully composed images of butterflies by Damien Hirst and published by HENI Editions. The prints are available to purchase on HENI from 28th January 2022 until 5pm UTC on Friday 4th February 2022.
The striking Empresses prints are constructed of beautiful images of red butterfly wings, which are intricately arranged with a filigree of red glitter to produce visually intoxicating kaleidoscope-like effects. The prints are named after five exceptionally influential female rulers: Nūr Jahān, Suiko, Wu Zetian, Theodora and Taytu Betul. Their character and stories are enhanced by the dominant red tone of the series, which deals with themes such as life, war, power, anger, love, joy and luck.
The edition does not come with a certificate of authenticity. Each work is individually numbered and hand signed by Damien Hirst on the label on the back.
