About this work

Damien Hirst's Proctolin is a 2008 silkscreen print that exemplifies the artist's exploration of pharmaceutical aesthetics and scientific imagery. Measuring 29 by 37 inches, the work employs the precise, commercial quality inherent to the silkscreen medium to render its subject with clinical clarity. The composition reflects Hirst's longstanding fascination with the intersection of art, medicine, and mortality, translating complex biochemical concepts into visually arresting form through bold colors and graphic precision. This work represents an important period in Hirst's printmaking practice, when he consolidated his position as one of the most significant artists of his generation. The pharmaceutical series remains highly sought after by collectors who appreciate both its conceptual rigor and decorative appeal, offering an accessible entry point into Hirst's broader artistic concerns.
