Description

Butterfly

By Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst is a British contemporary artist known for his provocative and often
controversial works that explore themes of life, death, and the nature of art. His notable pieces include "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living," a shark preserved in formaldehyde, and "For the Love of God," a diamond-encrusted human skull, solidifying his place as one of the most commercially successful and polarizing figures in the art world.

Damien Hirst's Butterfly centres on a delicate outline whose open wings are balanced by long, rising curves. The lightly marked upper wings contrast with the smoother loops below, giving the insect an informal, animated character. Generous pale space around the motif keeps attention on the rhythm of the black lines and their simple, almost diagrammatic clarity.

All works are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Dovehouse Contemporary.
