Damien Hirst

For the Love of God, Wonder

"For the Love of God, Wonder" by Damien Hirst is a screenprint that combines traditional printmaking techniques with luxurious materials, incorporating glaze and diamond dust to create a shimmering, jewel like surface. The work reflects Hirst's characteristic fascination with mortality, spirituality, and material excess, themes central to his practice since the 1990s. By elevating a printed image through the addition of precious materials and optical effects, Hirst transforms a reproducible artwork into an object of considerable visual and conceptual richness.

Medium
Screenprint in colours with glaze and diamond dust, on wove paper, the full sheet.
