Damien Hirst's piece Truth H6-5 is a captivating exploration of form and symbolism, distinguished by its unique use of a concentric circle composition. Within this artwork, Hirst nods to his 'Mandalas' series, where he masterfully utilizes white butterfly wings to create a mesmerizing pattern that draws the viewer into its depths.


Truth stands out within the series for its innovative composition. The concentric circles create a sense of depth and movement, as if the composition is a three-dimensional dome. The pattern of white butterfly wings appears to recede into the print, leading the viewer's eye from the boundaries of the picture plane towards the central wings. This technique creates a dynamic and immersive experience for the viewer, inviting contemplation of the concept of truth.


The use of white butterfly wings in Truth adds to its ethereal quality. Against a dark background, the wings resemble delicate petals or celestial bodies, further enhancing the sense of depth and mystery. The concentric circles radiate outward, creating a sense of expansion and revelation.


Hirst's exploration of truth is not limited to the visual composition. The concentric circles, often associated with enlightenment and spiritual understanding, add layers of meaning to the artwork. As the viewer's gaze moves towards the central wings, there is a sense of uncovering hidden truths and gaining insight.


Truth H6-5 invites viewers to contemplate the nature of truth itself. The composition, with its intricate pattern of white butterfly wings, symbolizes the search for inner wisdom and enlightenment. Hirst's use of the concentric circle composition guides the viewer on a journey towards the center, where truth is found amidst the layers of symbolism and beauty.


In Truth, Damien Hirst creates a piece that is not only visually captivating but also conceptually rich. The concentric circles, reminiscent of mandalas, serve as a visual metaphor for the quest for truth and understanding. As viewers engage with the artwork, they are encouraged to reflect on their own search for truth in a world filled with complexity and illusion. Truth stands as a testament to Hirst's skill as an artist and his ability to evoke profound concepts through the delicate beauty of butterfly wings.
