Damien Hirst emerged as the most prominent of the Young British Artists, the generation that reoriented British art at the close of the twentieth century. His preoccupation with mortality, belief, and the limits of scientific certainty runs through the spot paintings, spin paintings, and vitrine sculptures that established his critical standing. The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, his shark suspended in formaldehyde, became one of the defining images of 1990s art and anchored both the Saatchi collection and the landmark Sensation exhibition. His work is held in the Tate and in museums internationally. The paintings shown here, drawn from his Nimbus and spin series, extend a long inquiry into color, chance, and the seductions of surface.
