Description
Damien Hirst (b.1965)
The Dead (Loganberry Pink/Lime Green)
Foilblock print in colours, 2014, signed and numbered from the edition of 15 in pencil, on Somerset wove paper, printed and published by Other Criteria, London, the full sheet, 720 x 510mm (28 3/8 x 20 1/8in) (unframed)
Damien Hirst has frequently spoken about both death, and the power of a series to 'theoretically...avoid death'. The skull is a trope of the artist's work which, similarly traditional momento mori still life paintings, remind the viewer of both the fragility and beauty of life. In the artist's own words 'death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy'.
