H18-4 Splendour, 2024
Diasec mounted Giclée on aluminium Signed and numbered
33 1/2 x 55 1/8 in 85 x 140 cm
Edition of 180 + 20 AP
H18-4 Splendour is a diasec-mounted giclée on aluminium created by Damien Hirst in 2024, part of his H18 Kaleidoscopes series. Available in an edition of 180 plus 20 Artist's Proofs and measuring 33½ by 55⅛ inches, the work takes the most unambiguously celebratory title in the series — splendour, magnificence, radiant beauty. In a series that has engaged titles ranging from Harlequin through Chameleon, Psychedelic, and Intricacy, Splendour announces itself as the fullest expression of aesthetic aspiration. The butterfly wing composition of Splendour is arranged in Hirst's characteristic kaleidoscopic symmetry against a vivid background, achieving the visual momentum and chromatic intensity that defines the H18 series. The diasec mounting — face-mounted to acrylic and backed onto aluminium — produces the exceptional depth, clarity, and luminosity for which this presentation method is valued, amplifying the inherent radiance of the butterfly wing materials. The result is a work that genuinely earns its title: a splendour of color, pattern, and natural material brought into formal arrangement with the precision and ambition characteristic of Hirst's finest works. Damien Hirst is one of the most significant artists of the contemporary period, and his butterfly works represent one of the most enduring and discussed bodies of work in recent art history. The H18 Kaleidoscopes series — a major recent development in this ongoing practice — brings these works to new levels of visual ambition and technical quality. H18-4 Splendour, as a key work in the series, represents a compelling and visually magnificent collecting opportunity appropriate to the most discerning private and institutional collections.
