About this work

Damien Hirst's Benzyloxyurea is a 2011 woodcut that exemplifies the artist's exploration of pharmaceutical imagery and the intersection of art, science, and mortality. Measuring 22 1/2 by 18 inches, this print demonstrates Hirst's mastery of the traditional woodcut technique while maintaining his characteristic contemporary aesthetic. The work features the precise rendering of a chemical compound structure, transforming scientific notation into a striking visual composition that bridges clinical documentation and artistic expression. The bold lines and deliberate craftsmanship inherent to woodcut printing lend the pharmaceutical subject matter an unexpected warmth and tactility. This work appeals to collectors seeking accessible entry points into Hirst's oeuvre while maintaining the conceptual rigor that defines his practice. The pharmaceutical series remains highly sought after, representing one of the artist's most recognizable and intellectually engaging bodies of work. As a print, it offers an opportunity to acquire work by one of contemporary art's most influential figures at a more approachable scale than his large installations.
