Meaning & Analysis

During his time at Goldsmiths, Hirst made a series of collages and wall- and floor-based works made form ceramic plates. Notably one of these, 8 Pans (1987) was made from brightly coloured pots and pans, hinting at a development towards the Spots paintings that were to follow. Hirst remained compelled to produce paintings and so on a three-panel board that he painted white, he randomly paints coloured spots with household gloss, the paint dripping down in the spaces between the dots. This marked the beginning of the Spots paintings .

Hirst recalls: “I remember the board came in eight by four sheets so I just got three of them and bolted them together with coach bolts. It was about the way the bolts looked like black dots, 16 of them on that painting, and I just painted dots all over. There were about 15 colours, then I added more, and tried using different colours, about 35 I think. But they were messy and I felt I needed to shed the mess. So I went on to the Spots paintings…”

  • 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.
