Damien Hirst
Damien Hirst is one of the major artists of the contemporary age. First exhibited in the early 1990s, his huge shark pickled in formaldehyde was a sensational and provocative artwork, which also shocked the art world and viewers at the time. As a central artist within the YBAs (Young British Artists), Hirst has carved out his name within contemporary art history, with works inspiring conviction in the new possibilities of artistic expression. Concurrently with Hirst’s sequences of work dealing with themes of life and death, he has also been creating an aesthetic world that is thoroughly systematized and rationalized. In this exhibition, Hirst will present ‘In a Spin, the Action of the World on Things, Volume I’ (23 spin etchings, in a limited edition of 68). In this series the artist worked on rotating plates with needles and screwdrivers to create the etching plates. Due to the rapid revolution of the plates, together with a systematical range of circles the prints contain an irregularly spreading field of paint, as though the artist’s sharp sensitivity is being diffused from within the picture plane to the outside world.
