Damien Hirst is partnering with HENI to unveil The Desires, a collection of 40 unique works on canvas and eight restricted version prints, mixing butterflies and spin work – two of his most iconic motifs.
“These dream prints are like capturing a star or a heartbeat,” the artist defined. “It’s the identical explosion of shade and motion, trapped in time and house.” Navigating the stress between nature, artifice, movement and stillness, a way of curiosity and childlike play threads all through the gathering.
Hirst started his first spin portray experiments in 1992, the identical yr as his first Turner Prize nomination, a transfer towards mechanized artwork and the aesthetics of randomness. Butterflies, however, act as a “common set off” for love, magnificence and the ephemerality of life. A recurring image all through his oeuvre, the varied depictions of those delicate creatures replicate a broader fascination with humanity’s relationship to nature.
The Desires is now obtainable on HENI’s web site by way of April 7. Measuring at 88 x 88 centimeters, the print editions are Diasec-mounted Giclée prints on aluminum composite panels. Priced at $3,500 USD, the editions will probably be restricted by demand and are available numbered and signed by the artist.The work, obtainable by utility, are composed of butterflies on family gloss on canvas and are available signed and titled by the artist, measuring at 91.4 x 91.4 centimeters.
Works from The Desires at the moment are on view at HENI London.
