Damien Hirst

Exaudiat te Dominus (May the Lord Hear You), from Psalm Prints

Damien Hirst's "Exaudiat te Dominus" is a screenprint that combines religious text with luxurious materials, featuring diamond dust applied to the printed surface to create a shimmering, devotional effect. The work draws from the Psalms, transforming the Latin phrase meaning "May the Lord Hear You" into a contemporary meditation on spirituality and material excess. By layering the ethereal quality of diamond dust onto printed text, Hirst invokes both the transcendent nature of prayer and the commodification of spiritual experience characteristic of his artistic practice.

Medium
Screenprint in colours with diamond dust, on wove paper, with full margins.
