OK
2025
This collaborative piece between Shepard Fairey and Damien Hirst takes on a quietly ironic weight with its single-word title, 'OK' — a deceptively simple affirmation set against a visually complex surface of PVC tiles and pills on painted paper. The use of pharmaceutical pills as both material and symbol directly channels Hirst's lifelong obsession with medicine, mortality, and the commodification of health, while the tile grid recalls his celebrated spot paintings. Fairey's influence is felt in the bold graphic language of the underlying painted paper, evoking his signature propaganda-poster aesthetic. Together, the materials suggest a tension between wellness and chemical dependency, asking whether society's collective 'OK' is genuinely felt or merely prescribed. The work stands as one of the more quietly unsettling entries in the Triple Trouble collection, its apparent simplicity masking a layered critique of modern pharmaceutical culture.
