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.

Felt pen on paper

5 9/10 × 5 9/10 × 1 1/5 in | 15 × 15 × 3 cm

Unique work

Includes a Certificate of Authenticity

Damien Hirst's Butterfly uses a spare, flowing outline to give its subject a lively presence. Broad upper wings and rounded lower wings meet at a compact central body, while long, curling lines rise into the open space above. Small marks punctuate the otherwise unfilled wings, allowing the pale ground and delicate black contours to carry the composition.

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