Damien Hirst — Cyclohexane
Damien Hirst

Cyclohexane

1995

A vibrant and meticulously arranged composition of colored dots spread uniformly across a white canvas, characteristic of Hirst's celebrated Spot Paintings series. Created in 1995, *Cyclohexane* takes its name from a chemical compound, continuing Hirst's recurring fascination with science, medicine, and the clinical language of modern life. The work's systematic repetition of uniform circles in varied hues evokes both the detached precision of a laboratory chart and the seductive allure of pure color.
