About Hidden Gardens


Rendered in a rich and diverse palette, Hidden Gardens moves closer into the lush landscapes of Hirst's The Secret Gardens Paintings works, which are populated by seemingly endless species of flowers. Hirst approaches these flowers from various perspectives, at times revealing more of the landscape by showing blue sky or larger gardens, while at other times focusing on a small selection of blooms.

The flowers, executed in quick yet recognisable detail, are overlayed to various degrees with thick and colourful splatters of paint, which Hirst characterises as “like pollen, or something that feels like an assault on the senses.” In the flourishing scenes of Hidden Gardens, the interrelation between humanity and the environment emerges as an important theme – Hirst said that he wants these works “to feel like the hope and futility we get when we try to control nature.”

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.
