Meaning & Analysis

Hirst’s artistic output is on a large enough scale to justify employing assistants across three different studios and as such, most of the Spots paintings were produced collaboratively. After painting a small number himself, Hirst created a system with a few basic rules that allowed for others to produce the Spots paintings for him. Every spot in each piece is a perfect circle, each the same size, hand-painted and arranged in a grid. The Spots paintings were ultimately about an exploration of colour combinations, with every spot on each canvas a different colour. The series therefore has become a set of works with endless possibilities and combinations.

Hirst has commented on the way in which these paintings are deceptively simple: “If you look closely at any one of these paintings, a strange thing happens: because of the lack of repeated colours there is no harmony. We are used to picking out chords of other colours to create meaning. This can’t happen. So in every painting there is a subliminal sense of unease: the colours project so much joy it’s hard to feel it, but it’s there. The horror underlying everything. The horror that can overwhelm everything at any moment.”

  • 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.
