Damien Hirst Gly Gly Ala original color woodcut on paper. From the limited edition of 55 signed and numbered.
Damien Hirst Gly Gly Ala is a beautiful color woodcut on paper. One of his most iconic themes, the Damien Hirst spot prints are instantly recognizable with each colorful spot the same size and width apart. All the Damien Hirst spot / dot prints are named after chemical compositions in association with pharmaceuticals, which gives a psychological depth to the work. Hirst is fascinated by the human body and often his works tackle subjects associated with death and mortality. Perhaps ironically, the feeling evoked by Hirst’s spot works is a kind of resolution, a zen mind-numbing experience leaving the viewer feeling calm and collected.
