Meaning & Analysis

Hirst works almost exclusively in series and his scale of production is considerable enough to merit employing a large number of assistants across various studios in Gloucester, Devon and London. The artist has said of this: “I like to do series… I think that I try to avoid doing something unique, or being unique. If you feel like that, you end up benefiting by using other people. I like the idea of a factory to produce work, which separates the work from the ideas, but I wouldn’t like a factory to produce ideas.”

The original Spots painting from 1986 was made when Hirst was still studying at Goldsmiths College. On a three-board panel that he painted white, Hirst randomly paints coloured spots with household gloss, the paint dripping down in the spaces between the dots. The original painting was Hirst’s attempt at unifying his faith in Abstract Expressionist painting with his newly cultivated interest in Minimalism, a style that he previously reviled.

  • 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.
