Meaning & Analysis

New Religion (Sky) explores the concept of belief. Hirst once stated that he could not “understand why some people believe completely in medicine but not in art, without questioning either”. New Religion (Sky) seeks to do just that: he seeks to question why there is no unwavering belief in art. The use of the sky as a backdrop, coupled with the biblical references, all allude to Hirst’s exploration of belief. The presence of medicine relates to his interest in science.

Both references in this work, the religious and the scientific, have been explored elsewhere in Hirst’s oeuvre. For instance, the Cathedral series makes several references to relation and its relationship with art. Alternatively, Hirst’s sculptures, most notably his medicine cabinet sculpture and his pharmacy (a room installation at the tate) all considered people considered medicine. Hirst stated that “this kind of big happy, smiling, minimal, colourful, confident façade that medicine and drug companies put up is not flawless”. New Religion (Sky), much like Hirst’s pharmacy, explore the concept of immortality and the futile nature of medicine.

  • Damien Hirst, born in Bristol in 1965, is often hailed the enfant terrible of the contemporary art world. His provocative works challenge conventions and his conceptual brilliance spans installations, paintings, and sculptures, often exploring themes of mortality and the human experience. As a leading figure of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement in the late '80s, Hirst's work has dominated the British art scene for decades and has become renowned for being laced with controversy, thus shaping the dialogue of modern art.
