Meaning & Analysis
H9-7 Loyalty is a laminated giclée print on aluminium composite panel by the renowned contemporary artist, Damien Hirst. In the print, Hirst renders a large cherry blossom tree in full bloom. The tree occupies the right of the composition, with its branches stretching out across the print. Beautiful blossoms are painted using pink, red and green spots. The tree is set against a pale blue backdrop with the bright colours of the flowers contrasting with the plain blue. The lively colours resonate with the start of Spring and the blooming of flowers.
H9-7 Loyalty is part of Hirst’s H9 The Virtues series. One of eight prints, each print in this series depicts a cherry blossom tree. The series is part of a wider project dedicated to the cherry blossoms. Hirst has created over 100 works which will be exhibited for the first time at the Fondation Cartier in Paris in July, 2021. The prints in the H9 The Virtues series can be identified due to their unique names. The artist chose to name the prints after the ‘Eight Virtues of Bushidō’ according to Nitobe Inazō -Justice, Courage, Mercy, Politeness, Honesty, Honour, Loyalty, and Control.
The print captures Hirst’s love for spots. When looked at closely, the viewer can make out lots of tiny spots which, when arranged meticulously together, make up the cherry blossoms. The influences of Impressionism, Pointillism and Action Painting are apparent in H9-7 Loyalty, as well as this long standing love of spots.
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.
