About the artwork

This lithograph depicts a dense field of various flowers, rendered with a vibrant and somewhat chaotic aesthetic. The composition is filled with large, distinct blooms, such as red dahlias, white daisies, and light blue cosmos—interspersed with smaller, less defined floral forms and lush green foliage. The surface features visible splatters and drips of paint, contributing to a dynamic and layered texture. The arrangement of the flowers suggests a natural, yet highly stylized, garden or meadow scene. The application of color is varied, with some petals appearing thickly impastoed, while other areas show translucent washes and energetic marks. The overall impression is one of abundance and natural vitality, captured through a technique that combines representational elements with abstract expressionist gestures.

Expert opinion

Damien Hirst's work often navigates themes of life, death, and beauty, frequently employing motifs from nature. This particular print, with its floral subject matter, aligns with his broader exploration of natural forms and their symbolic potential, echoing elements seen in his "Cherry Blossoms" series. The use of lithography allows for the dissemination of his artistic vision to a wider audience, making his aesthetic accessible within the print market. The market position for Hirst remains strong, particularly for his iconic series and limited-edition prints. Works that directly reference his established visual language tend to perform consistently at auction and through galleries. The inclusion of his signature and edition number contributes to its collectibility within the contemporary art market.

About the artist

Born in Bristol in 1965, Damien Hirst is one of the UK's most influential contemporary artists. He studied at Goldsmiths College in London, where in 1988 he organized Freeze, an emblematic exhibition that launched the Young British Artists movement. This initiative attracted the attention of influential collectors, including Charles Saatchi, and propelled Hirst onto the art scene. His artistic approach revolves around the themes of life, death and mortality, with works such as The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (a shark preserved in formaldehyde). His work often marries science and art, exploring the beauty and fragility of human existence through provocative materials and striking installations.Hirst has exhibited at prestigious institutions such as the Tate Modern (London) and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale (Naples). In 2008, he defied the art market by auctioning his work directly at Sotheby's, raising £111 million in two days, a record for a living artist.
