Damien Hirst: Spots

A selection of Damien Hirst featuring his signature subject of spots. The 'Spot Series' is one of Hirst's most recognizable and universally appealing. Hirst manipulates color, symmetry, and pattern to create unique combinations of the simple and elegant spots. Hirst explains that, “Mathematically, with the spot paintings, I probably discovered the most fundamentally important thing in any kind of art. Which is the harmony of where color can exist on its own, interacting with other colors in a perfect format." Any problems he had previously had with color, Hirst claims, “were removed by the perfect arrangement of complimentary, yet never repeated, colors in the ‘Spots’ series.” The exhibition features a variety of medium including woodcuts, etchings, aquatints, and monoprints.
