Meaning & Analysis

Some of Hirst’s most well-known paintings are the Kaleidoscope paintings from 2001 to the present, that play with the symbolic power of the butterfly and evoke a sense of spirituality. This series seems to play with both Christian iconography, like his works that are framed by pointed arches, as well as Eastern philosophical traditions, pre-empting his later Mandalasseries from 2019.

The use of the butterfly differs from earlier iterations of the motif in installations such as In and Out of Love from 1991. Using only the butterfly wings, Hirst removes the idealised image of the butterfly from the real insect, notably arranging the wings into an aesthetic composition.Across the series, the butterfly wing is rendered unrecognisable when viewed at a distance and as part of a larger intricate pattern.

  • 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.
