About this work

Damien Hirst's Gly-Gly-Ala is a 2016 woodcut that continues the artist's exploration of pharmaceutical and scientific imagery. Measuring 42 1/2 by 34 inches, this work employs the traditional woodcut technique to create a striking visual composition. The print demonstrates Hirst's signature approach to rendering chemical compounds and molecular structures with graphic precision, translating the clinical vocabulary of science into bold, accessible contemporary art. The medium's inherent qualities of sharp lines and flat color planes perfectly complement Hirst's conceptual interests in mortality, medicine, and the commodification of health. As one of the most influential artists of his generation, Hirst's prints remain highly sought after by collectors seeking accessible entry points into his practice. This woodcut represents an important strand of his ongoing investigation into pharmaceutical culture, a theme that has defined much of his most celebrated work. The piece offers both visual impact and conceptual depth for contemporary collections. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
