Domine, Ne in Furore, a captivating creation from Damien Hirst's esteemed Psalms series, beckons viewers into a world of art, spirituality, and the profound mysteries of existence. Hirst's artistry, renowned for its ability to transcend boundaries, is vividly expressed in this striking piece that delves into themes of faith, mortality, and the tumultuous emotions of the human experience.


As a significant part of the Psalms series introduced in 2008, Domine, Ne in Furore takes its name from an Old Testament psalm, grounding the painting in a tradition of deep reflection and spiritual contemplation. This work stands out for its dramatic backdrop—a diamond dusted red surface that shimmers with intensity, symbolizing passion, fervor, and the fire of divine judgment.


In Domine, Ne in Furore, Hirst employs a circular composition, reminiscent of a mandala, to symbolize the eternal and cyclical nature of life and spirituality. The central motif of butterflies, a recurring symbol in Hirst's oeuvre, represents transformation and the fleeting nature of beauty amid the tumultuous background. Against the backdrop of diamond dusted red, these butterflies seem to flutter with an intensity that mirrors the passions and emotions of the human soul.


Upon closer examination, Domine, Ne in Furore reveals layers of symbolism that provoke contemplation. The diamond dusted red background evokes notions of divine fire, passion, and the intensity of spiritual fervor. The circular form, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, speaks to the eternal dance of life and death, creation and destruction.


Through Domine, Ne in Furore, Hirst invites viewers to ponder the complexities of faith and the human condition. Is this painting a plea for divine mercy amid the trials of life, a meditation on the intensity of spiritual devotion, or a reflection on the turbulent emotions that accompany the human experience? The circular composition reinforces the cyclical nature of existence and the eternal presence of divine judgment.
