Damien Hirst Inferno
Damien Hirst
b. 1965
Inferno
with the artist's signature incised verso and numbered 18/50
lenticular print in colours on PETG plastic
61 by 61 cm. 24 by 24 in.
framed: 65.5 by 65.5 cm. 25¾ by 25¾ in.
Executed in 2015, this impression is number 18 from the edition of 50, published by Other Criteria.
Condition Report:
The work is in good condition, framed.
Catalogue Note:
From Damien Hirst’s “Entomology Works” series, Inferno is reminiscent of his iconic “Entomology” and “Kaleidoscope” paintings, which feature hundreds of insects and butterflies arranged in mesmerizing geometric patterns. While they appear delicate and fragile, insects show remarkable endurance, making them the perfect vehicle through which to explore the thin line between life and death. Hirst does so repeatedly throughout his work. For this edition, he also references Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, contemplating the poet’s journey from darkness to the revelation of divine light. Printed using lenticular technology, there is a sense of depth and movement to this work that evokes Dante’s journey.
