Meaning & Analysis

Produced in 2009, this print is one of thirty-one prints that form The Dead series. In this series, Hirst reproduces the image of a skull, however he adds bold and lively colours to his prints, which counter the negative and sombre connotations that traditionally accompany the image of a skull. Indeed, the colours Hirst uses in The Dead series contrast with Hirst’s other series, such as I Once Was What You Are, You Will Be What I Am (2007) and Memento (2008), which use the image of a skull, yet privilege a more toned back black and white style.

The theme of death, which is central to The Dead series, has been a long-standing subject of interest for Hirst. From a young age, Hirst was fascinated with questions of life and death. When he was sixteen, Hirst started producing life drawings on his visits to the anatomy department of Leeds Medical School. This interest has stayed with the artist, as evidenced in The Dead series and many of his other artworks.

  • 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.
