Damien Hirst — Methylamine-13c
Damien Hirst

Methylamine-13c

A vibrant and meticulously arranged composition of coloured dots spans the surface of this screenprint, characteristic of Hirst's celebrated Spot series. The addition of diamond dust lends the work a subtle, shimmering luminosity that elevates the flat, graphic quality of the screenprinted marks. The work reflects Hirst's ongoing fascination with pharmaceutical culture, systematic order, and the aesthetics of scientific classification.

Medium
Screenprint in colours with diamond dust, on Somerset paper, the full sheet.
