About this work

Benzyl Viologen is a 2011 woodcut print by Damien Hirst, measuring fourteen inches square. Part of the artist's celebrated pharmaceutical series, this work showcases Hirst's characteristic exploration of mortality, science, and consumer culture through the visual language of medical packaging. The woodcut technique lends a distinctive textural quality to the composition, with bold lines and areas of solid color that evoke both traditional printmaking and contemporary graphic design. The print's compact square format emphasizes its geometric precision and graphic impact. This work represents an accessible entry point into Hirst's market, offering collectors an opportunity to acquire a piece from one of contemporary art's most influential figures. The pharmaceutical works remain among his most iconic motifs, bridging his conceptual concerns with strong visual appeal. As a limited edition print from an established series, it holds particular interest for both emerging collectors and seasoned enthusiasts of contemporary British art.
