Damien Hirst
120 x 93 cm
Damien Hirst's Happiness print is a part of The Secrets series, a collection of eight unique prints depicting thriving gardens inspired by Hirst's latest series, The Secret Gardens Paintings. This series marks a significant progression in Hirst's oeuvre, building upon themes explored in previous series such as Fruitful And Forever, The Virtues, and the more recent Where The Land Meets The Sea. Drawing inspiration from Impressionists and Pointillists, Hirst uses flowers as a medium to delve into personal emotion and the transient nature of life.
Happiness is characterized by a vibrant palette and a technique that juxtaposes meticulous detail with gestural, almost violent applications of paint. This duality mirrors the themes within Hirst's work, evoking a balance between control and chaos, the designed and the natural, the harmonious and the discordant. The print invites viewers to contemplate the intricate relationship between humanity and nature, showcasing lush gardens that are simultaneously wild and meticulously curated.
Through The Secrets series, Hirst prompts viewers to reflect on the simultaneous hope and futility of attempting to control nature. This theme resonates in a society increasingly aware of its environmental impact, highlighting the delicate equilibrium between human progress and the preservation of natural beauty.
In the world of contemporary art, collecting Damien Hirst prints, including H14 The Secrets, has become highly coveted among enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Hirst's iconic imagery and conceptual brilliance have propelled him to international acclaim, making his prints sought after in the art market. As with any art investment, collectors should carefully consider factors such as edition size, provenance, and condition when acquiring Hirst's prints, ensuring their value and authenticity.
