About this work

Damien Hirst's Oleandrigenin is a six-inch square woodcut from 2011, part of the artist's celebrated pharmaceutical series exploring the aesthetics of scientific documentation. The intimate scale belies the precision of its execution, with the woodcut technique lending a tactile, hand-crafted quality to the geometric composition. The work showcases Hirst's characteristic marriage of conceptual rigor and visual appeal, transforming medical imagery into a contemplative meditation on color, form, and contemporary society's relationship with pharmaceutical culture. This piece represents an accessible entry point for collectors interested in Hirst's conceptual practice, offering museum-quality provenance at a more intimate scale than his monumental installations. The pharmaceutical works remain among his most sought-after series, bridging Pop Art's legacy with contemporary concerns about medicine and mortality. Its modest dimensions make it ideal for focused residential collections or corporate settings where powerful ideas meet refined presentation.
