Meaning & Analysis
Damien Hirst’s Untitled Spot Print was produced in 2007 and is signed in the bottom right. It was produced in an edition of 500. The print depicts a grid-like pattern of colour spots laid atop a white background with a large amount of space surrounding the central grid-like pattern.
Untitled Spot Print, is part of the Spots collection. The work fits within the middle of the period that he was most extensively exploring this theme and is in keeping with many of his other prints that consider Spots. The work depicts 90 spots in a nine by ten grid-like pattern. The regularity of their compositional organisation juxtaposes with the seemingly random nature of their colours. There is not immediately observable logic that may explain Hirst’s choice of colour for the spots.
Hirst came to explore the theme of spots far more regularly in the 21st century. This Untitled Spot Print can be effectively compared to several of his other works: many of the panels, such as Vipera Lebetina and Lanatoside B use a grid structure that is very close to being a square. Either the vertical or horizonal spots exceeds the other by one. In fact, Lanatoside B and Vipera Lebetine both have a nine by ten grid-like pattern. The similarity between these prints and Hirst’s Untitled Spot Print is particularly telling. However, these two later ones were produced in 2011. Therefore, this Untitled Spot Print must be understood as Hirst exploring this compositional structure.
