Twisted in Sobriety (from the In a Spin, the Action of the World on Things, Volume II portfolio)

2002

This etching in colors on Hahnemühle paper is part of Damien Hirst's ambitious In a Spin portfolio series from 2002. The title Twisted in Sobriety suggests a philosophical exploration of altered states and perception through printmaking. Hirst employs the classical etching technique combined with vibrant color work to create a composition that oscillates between control and chaos. The work exemplifies the artist's interest in spinning and rotational forms as metaphors for consciousness and movement.
