Capricorn
2008
Damien Hirst's "Capricorn" is part of his Zodiac series, which reimagines astrological signs through his characteristic use of spot paintings and symbolic imagery. The work exemplifies Hirst's exploration of mortality, science, and popular culture by combining pharmaceutical references with celestial symbolism in a composition that reflects both his conceptual approach and his interest in creating visually striking, mass produced artworks. Like much of his practice, the piece engages with themes of chance, repetition, and the commodification of art within contemporary visual culture.
