About this work
Forever presents viewers with a vivid glimpse into Damien Hirst's series of paintings, the Cherry Blossoms. In this edition, Hirst takes on the traditional subject of landscape painting with a bold, monumental approach. The surface of the work is entirely enveloped in bright colors, blurring the lines between figuration and abstraction in a vibrant dance of hues.Drawing inspiration from the Pointillism and Impressionism movements, Hirst's Cherry Blossoms series is a homage to the power of color. Here, he delves into the exploration of color and its effects on the eye, creating a dynamic interplay that is both free and joyful. The British artist's brushstrokes are thick and expressive, capturing movement and vitality on the canvas.Hirst's process for Forever involved taking existing imagery from his Cherry Blossoms paintings and translating it into a print format. The result is a close-up view of the densely layered impasto structure, with colorful dabs of paint echoing sections from the large-scale canvases. Viewers can trace the artist's gestural action painting across the surface, each stroke a testament to his departure from Minimalism.In Hirst's own words, The Cherry Blossoms are about beauty and life and death. They’re garish and messy and fragile and about me moving away from Minimalism and the idea of an imaginary mechanical painter and that’s so exciting to me. This sentiment captures the essence of Forever, a piece that pulsates with life and a departure from artistic conventions, inviting viewers to revel in its vibrant complexity.
