About this work

Damien Hirst's Triptophen from 2010 demonstrates the artist's continued exploration of pharmaceutical imagery through the traditional medium of woodcut printing. This substantial square composition measuring just over forty inches presents a kaleidoscopic arrangement of colorful pills and capsules, rendered with the distinctive linear quality inherent to relief printing. The woodcut technique lends a graphic boldness to Hirst's signature medicinal motifs, with each tablet precisely delineated against the composition's surface, creating a mesmerizing pattern that speaks to both the seductive appeal and underlying anxiety surrounding pharmaceutical culture. This work represents an important intersection in Hirst's practice, combining his most recognizable conceptual themes with classical printmaking methods. As part of his highly collectible print editions, Triptophen appeals to institutions and collectors seeking accessible entry points into Hirst's influential oeuvre while maintaining the conceptual rigor of his larger installations. The work's substantial scale and striking visual impact make it suitable for prominent display in contemporary collections. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
