Damien Hirst's Gritti is a visually captivating facsimile print that mesmerizes with its playful arrangement of spots. Part of his Colour Space series, specifically H5 from 2018, it draws inspiration from his earlier spot paintings but introduces a new level of dynamism and spontaneity.
In Gritti, the iconic grids of the spot paintings give way to a randomness of movement, color, and even splattering paint. Against a pristine white background, vibrant hues of red, orange, green, blue, purple, yellow, and pink spots converge, overlapping and touching to cover nearly the entire picture plane. The occasional splatter adds an extra layer of vitality, enhancing the work's dynamic nature.
The spots in Gritti, named after the opulent Gritti Palace hotel in Venice, appear to float in space, creating a sense of depth and movement. They seem to multiply infinitely, extending beyond the picture plane and resembling atoms under a microscope. As viewers engage with the artwork, the spots play tricks on the eyes, forming captivating swirling and circular patterns that seem to dance across the surface.
Reverberating with energy, Gritti is a work suspended in a constant state of transformation. Its dynamic particles construct a visual symphony that invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world of color, movement, and infinite possibilities.
