Cesium Sulfate (40 Woodcut Spots), 2011
Woodcut in colours, 2011, on wove paper, signed in pencil, numbered 22/55 on the reverse (there were also 15 artist's proofs), published by The Paragon Press, London Image & Sheet 155 x 379 mm.
"Cesium Sulfate" (2011) is a refined woodcut from Damien Hirst's "40 Woodcut Spots" series, representing a significant evolution in his iconic Spot Paintings. This work demonstrates Hirst's masterful translation of his pharmaceutical-inspired spots into the traditional medium of woodcut printing.
The print showcases Hirst's systematic approach to color and composition, where scientific precision meets artistic execution. Through the woodcut technique, each spot achieves a distinctive texture and depth, creating a dialogue between mechanical reproduction and handcrafted artistry.
As part of the "40 Woodcut Spots" series, this work extends Hirst's career-long investigation into the relationship between art, science, and production. The woodcut process adds a layer of artistic intervention to his typically mechanical spot compositions, resulting in subtle variations that speak to the human element in mechanical reproduction.
The work represents a crucial intersection between Hirst's conceptual framework and traditional printmaking techniques, offering a unique perspective on his iconic spot motif through the lens of historical printmaking methods.
