Hirst’s signature style can be seen in Butterfly Rainbow. The rainbow bands of the heart shape were produced from digital bands of photographed butterfly wings. Butterflies are a well-known motif used throughout Hirst’s work and the insect has become closely associated with the artist’s name. The insects play an important role in the artist’s visual language, as seen in the Mandala paintings and the Kaleidoscope series.
Hirst's art poses questions about immortality and the concept of life and death.
Hirst gained worldwide fame for his artworks with animals preserved in formaldehyde in an aquarium, such as the shark installation (1991) “The Physical Impossibility Of Death In The Mind Of Someone Living”. The shark looks lifelike because it's just a real shark that seems to float in water.
Damien Hirst's work is an extreme and outrageous form of art in this century. Decadent to classical beauty, from the interior to the conceptual. Damien Hirst's work is always a celebration of life and harks back to the urgency of our time: death, decay and disease. This often goes hand in hand with the austere formality of the glass display case or the white cube.
Metaphors of medicine and medical knowledge, media propaganda and the alienation of nature are reflected in the form and content of his work. With influences from Francis Bacon to English punk to the pop art of the sixties. The media associates his work with death, but he also makes work related to love and with a poetic approach.
Despite the fact that his installations are sold for millions, Hirst makes editions that you can view at AbrahamArt or request a trial placement at your home. The artworks of Damien Hirst are always controversial and still popular.
