Damien Hirst — Haloprogin
Damien Hirst

Haloprogin

A meticulous grid of hand-drawn circles rendered in coloured pencil radiates with jewel-like precision, each spot a carefully contained burst of pigment against a stark white ground. Hirst translates his iconic spot painting language into an intimate, tactile medium, the subtle waver of the hand-drawn line lending the work a quiet humanity absent from his large-scale counterparts. The work sits at the intersection of obsessive repetition and meditative craft, inviting close inspection of each individual mark.
