It stank; it was repulsive.

Since his generative work as a student at Goldsmiths School of Art, Hirst’s production has been boundary‐redefining in nature.

The horror in Bacon is biological. Like I always thought it would be great if you went into a supermarket and got a jar of Vaseline and a cucumber and put it in someone’s trolley.

In every Hollywood movie, there are thousands of deaths and dying and blood and gore and horror, but you use it in art and people are suddenly shocked. John Gray is the author of, among other books, STRAW DOGS: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals and THE IMMORTALIZATION COMMISSION: The Strange Quest to Cheat Death. I think that it’s important to face the inevitable.

Fruitful & Forever Damien Hirst Publisher: HENI Editions HENI Editions is pleased to announce four new limited edition prints by Damien Hirst, released 15th September 2020 in support of Save the Children. If you read early Greek poems, they say “the breath’s gone out of them.” They’re just baffled.

Because when you paint it or draw it, you’re doing it over and over.

It’s like a kind of dance, isn’t it? Stating the shark looked like a ‘monster from the deep’, Hirst titled the work after the mythical sea creature depicted in the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament.

The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living. 'Leviathan' originally published in Damien Hirst 'Corpus: Drawings 1986-2006' (Other Criteria/Gagosian Gallery, 2006).

“How was it for you?”.

Damien Hirst In 2007, Damien Hirst produced the editioned print ‘St Paul’s’, a large and dazzling network of images of butterfly wings derived from his ‘Cathedral’ portfolio. Stating the shark looked like a ‘monster from the deep’, Hirst titled the work after the mythical sea monster depicted in the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament. DH  It is Beckett who said, “Death doesn’t require us to make a day free”? I think that’s the problem. I was thinking it was kind of disgusting, but then I looked at him again and thought he looked really cosy.

(To the Reaper:) “Let me just finish this.”. So, when I see the medical instruments that you use, it seems to me that you’re trying to show how uncanny things become when we try to think about death or talk about death, because we can’t really.

DH  I thought to myself, “What the fuck is that all about?” You wouldn’t believe it.

I remember seeing a homeless guy in a doorway, black with dirt. We just have no contact with it all.

There’s a nice Zen story, where this man meditates for fifty years, and as he walks through the woods, all the birds land on his shoulders and the antelopes don’t run away, and the Zen master says to him, “Yeah, that’s great.

They couldn’t engage with it. I said yes, and they brought it over, on the back of a flatbed truck, frozen solid. When you walked into the gallery, you had to walk out. DH  It’s more our fear of a rude removal of life, isn’t it? So I’m always looking for things like that, whatever they mean. You can get a glimpse of it. Just after birth, they’re lying there in the same room, and then they are taken away by their parents and live their lives and, by an incredible twist of fate, they’re both in their last hours and they end up in adjacent beds in the same room again. All Rights Reserved. As much as a physical monster, Hirst’s 'Levitathan' can be interpreted as a reference to the darkness inside the mind of man. But then, as soon as I attached myself to all the death stuff, I tried to make it minimal, but it became romantic, which was not what I was looking for. ‘ Leviathan ’ (2006 - 2013) is a 6.8 metre-long basking shark the artist acquired from the Natural History Museum, London after it was found washed up on a British beach.

All profits will be donated to Save the Children’s Italian campaign “Riscriviamo il Futuro” (“Rewrite the Future”), which aims to support Italian children from disadvantaged backgrounds who have been affected by school closures during the COVID-19 crisis.

With art, I started off with 1950s abstract expressionism, “paint how you feel” kind of stuff, and then I moved into a sort of minimalism – you know, like Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt, that kind of purity – which is another utopian idea. I’ve done a few drawings for it. Then they decided that it was too big for them, so they asked if I wanted it. Copyright © 2006, John Gray, used by permission of The Wylie Agency (UK) Limited.

JG  And you never see anybody dying. Or talking about it, anyway. Damien Steven Hirst (Bristol, 7 giugno 1965) è un artista britannico, capofila del gruppo conosciuto come YBAs (Young British Artists). JG  But you’re also actually physically doing something when you paint or draw, which you’re not doing when you take a photograph of something. Love is kind of it.

Once you put two things together like that, like a jar of Vaseline and a cucumber, it’s like Picasso’s bike seat and handlebars, the unexpected sex of it. I read a great sentence the other day: “All utopians hate dirt.”.

You’re probably a lot more comfortable than in a totally spotless kitchen, with your totally spotless kids.

When you put most things together formally in unexpected ways, you can arrive at the big issues: sex, death, life, religion, beauty, science. DH  People use it to sell us everything.

JG  It’s how humanity must have lived for tens of thousands of years.
