Meaning & Analysis

The title of each Spots painting is named after a pharmaceutical drug, which are then each grouped into series’ through subcategories of medication. In order to title his Spots paintings, Hirst purchased the Physicians’ Desk Reference, which was an commercially published annual collection of information on prescription drugs for manufactures. Hirst has remarked that “it was just an afterthought to name them after drugs, based on this book, but I saw it and thought: I have just got to do all of them.”

This quote partially explains the impossible endlessness that characterises the Spots paintings. Set in grid-formulas and each depicting a unique combination of coloured dots, this series of works allows Hirst to expand his practice across three studios with assistants to carry out his instructions for painting. With only a few basic rules, Hirst established a system not dissimilar from Andy Warhol’s Factory from the 1960s, whereby hundreds of Spots paintings are produced on a large scale.

  • 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.
