Damien Hirst — PV74. Lucid Veil
Damien Hirst

PV74. Lucid Veil

2019

"PV74. Lucid Veil" exemplifies Damien Hirst's exploration of perception and materiality through his characteristic use of layered, translucent forms and vibrant color fields. The work's mixed media construction, combining oil paint on card with birch ply and canvas webbing, creates a deliberately constructed object that challenges traditional notions of painting as a flat surface. This piece reflects Hirst's broader interest in the interplay between scientific inquiry and aesthetic experience, presenting the viewer with a visually immersive yet conceptually complex work.
