About this work

Damien Hirst's Phenformin from 2010 exemplifies the artist's ongoing exploration of pharmaceutical culture through the traditional medium of woodcut. This twenty-by-twenty-inch print features Hirst's signature dot motif, rendered with the distinctive texture and depth that woodcut printing affords. The composition displays a precise arrangement of circular forms that reference both scientific diagrams and decorative pattern-making, creating a visually arresting interplay between order and chaos, medicine and art. This work represents an accessible entry point for collectors interested in Hirst's celebrated Pharmaceutical series, which has been exhibited internationally and remains highly sought after in the contemporary art market. The woodcut technique adds a tactile quality and printmaking tradition to Hirst's conceptual framework, appealing to those who value both contemporary innovation and historical craft practices. As part of a limited edition, Phenformin offers significant investment potential alongside its aesthetic and intellectual merit. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
