Damien Hirst Art: Curated Prints, Editions, & Rare Originals

"I never let money get in the way of an idea."

British, b. 1965

Damien Hirst, one of the most prominent and controversial figures in contemporary art, rose to fame as part of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement in the 1990s. Known for his bold exploration of themes like life, death, and the fragility of existence, Hirst's work has pushed the boundaries of modern art, using mediums that range from pharmaceuticals to live animals and diamonds. Collectors worldwide seek to buy Damien Hirst art, making his pieces highly valuable in the secondary art market.

Hirst’s fascination with life and death can be seen in some of his most famous works, such as The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (1991), featuring a shark suspended in formaldehyde, and For the Love of God(2007), a human skull encrusted with 8,601 diamonds. His use of unconventional materials has cemented his reputation as an artist who challenges traditional boundaries.

Another signature motif is Hirst’s butterfly series, as seen in his The Souls and I Love You series. In these works, he uses real butterfly wings to create striking visual statements about the ephemerality of life and the tension between beauty and mortality. Many of these iconic pieces, including his butterfly works and spin paintings, are available for purchase through Mimesis Gallery’s curated selection of Damien Hirst prints and editions.

Hirst’s career also includes collaborations with notable fashion brands and other artists, further expanding his influence across the cultural landscape. In his Coast Paintings series, Hirst draws inspiration from the British coastline, blending Abstract Expressionist techniques with his personal connection to the sea. Pieces like Studland Bay and Kynance Cove are prime examples of his dynamic use of color and movement, capturing the raw power of nature through bold, abstract forms.
