Damien Hirst — Three Divers with Three Treasures
Damien Hirst

Three Divers with Three Treasures

2025

Three Divers with Three Treasures stands as a luminous solo contribution from Damien Hirst to the Triple Trouble collection, merging his signature interest in mortality and desire with the seductive glow of a powder-coated aluminium and printed polyester acrylic lightbox. The lightbox medium transforms the work into something almost cinematic, bathing the viewer in an artificial radiance that questions the line between natural beauty and manufactured spectacle. Hirst's recurring motifs of collection, obsession, and the preservation of precious things surface in the triadic structure — three divers, three treasures — echoing the repetitive logic of his spot paintings and natural history works. The number three carries deep symbolic weight, suggesting cycles, trials, and abundance across mythological and religious traditions, while the act of diving implies descent into the unknown in pursuit of hidden value. Within the collaboration, this piece anchors the collection in Hirst's world of high-concept theatricality, setting a provocative tone for the works that follow.
