Detailed description
Picture "Phendimetrazine" (2011)
The work "Phendimetrazine" showcases the versatility of Damien Hirst’s characteristic "Spot" series, created between 1986 and 2011. The shimmering and playful composition exudes joy and reflects Hirst’s innovative approach to printmaking techniques.
The Spot prints are inspired by the Spot paintings series, considered one of the most significant in Hirst's oeuvre. The metallic texture of this print contrasts with the opaque, pure colours of the spots. In this series, Hirst examines a fundamental pillar of art - the harmony of a colour existing independently while interacting perfectly with others.

About Damien Hirst
Damien Hirst has made his persona into a brand – in fact, an extremely successful one. Today, the painter and sculptor is one of the most internationally renowned contemporary artists, he regularly exhibits in the world's important art houses and collectors sometimes pay astronomically high prices for his works.
He secured the public's attention at the latest with spectacular and provocative installations such as the animal cadavers preserved in formaldehyde. He has also kept himself in the (art) news with equally spectacular works, such as a skull set with 8,601 diamonds.
Hirst worked hard for his success. He was born in Bristol in 1965 and grew up in rather poor circumstances. He studied at Goldsmiths College in London from 1986 to 1989, organised the exhibition "Freeze" in 1988, which is considered the birth of the "Young British Artists", and received the renowned Turner Prize in 1995.

The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.
The field of graphic arts, that includes artistic representations, which are reproduced by various printing techniques.
