Damien Hirst

Capric Anhydridehousehold gloss on

2003

A systematic grid composition featuring forty two circular forms arranged in six rows and seven columns across a neutral ground. Each circle is rendered in a distinct hue, ranging from vibrant primaries and secondaries to subtle pastels and earth tones, creating a comprehensive chromatic study. The uniform size and regular spacing of the circles establish a methodical, almost scientific presentation, while the diversity of color creates visual rhythm and complexity within the structured format. This work exemplifies the exploration of color relationships and perception through repetition and variation.
