Damien Hirst — Triple Trouble
Damien Hirst

Triple Trouble

2025

Triple Trouble is Damien Hirst's eponymous contribution to the collection and carries the full weight of the project's conceptual ambitions, rendered in oil on canvas — a deliberate nod to the classical traditions of fine art that Hirst has spent his career both revering and subverting. The choice of oil paint is significant: it anchors an otherwise boundary-breaking collaboration in the language of art history, positioning street art luminaries Fairey and Invader within a lineage that stretches back centuries. Hirst's characteristic preoccupations — mortality, spectacle, value, and the theater of the art market — are embedded in the work's DNA, and the title itself functions as both a self-aware joke and a genuine declaration of the creative chaos three such distinct voices inevitably produce. As the collection's namesake piece, it serves as a kind of manifesto in paint, acknowledging the provocative friction at the heart of the collaboration. It is Hirst at his most reflective, using the gravitas of traditional medium to celebrate the irreverence of the entire project.
