About this work

Silver Tears, Utopia exemplifies Damien Hirst's sophisticated exploration of color, light, and perception through the foil block technique. Created in 2012, this substantial work measures 61 by 71 inches and showcases the artist's mastery of reflective surfaces. The foil block process produces an iridescent, shifting visual experience where metallic elements catch and transform light, creating an almost kinetic quality. The work bears Hirst's signature, affirming its authenticity and place within his celebrated oeuvre from this period. This piece represents an exceptional acquisition opportunity for collectors of contemporary British art. Hirst's works from this era demonstrate his continued innovation beyond his iconic spot paintings and formaldehyde sculptures, appealing to collectors seeking dimensional variety within his practice. The generous scale makes it suitable for significant residential or institutional settings, while the foil block medium remains highly sought after in the secondary market. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
