{"title":"Damien Hirst","description":"\u003cp\u003eDamien Hirst is one of the most celebrated and controversial artists of his generation. A central figure of the Young British Artists movement that dominated the art world in the 1990s, Damien won the Turner Prize in 1995 and has since become one of the wealthiest living artists in the world. His work — which spans medicine cabinets, spot paintings, butterfly canvases, and his notorious works in formaldehyde — explores themes of mortality, beauty, science, and the nature of art itself. His prints and editions are among the most sought-after in the contemporary art market, bringing his iconic visual language within reach of private collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"damien-hirst-civilisation-rising","title":"Civilisation Rising","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 12px; caret-color: #888888; color: #888888; font-family: 'DM Sans'; box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eHand Signed Limited Edition Giclée on Cotton Smooth Rag\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: #888888; color: #888888; font-family: 'DM Sans'; font-size: 12px;\"\u003eEdition Size: 530\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: #888888; color: #888888; font-family: 'DM Sans'; font-size: 12px;\"\u003eFramed size: 56.5\" x 44\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: #888888; color: #888888; font-family: 'DM Sans'; font-size: 12px;\"\u003eFrame: Contemporary Gold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: ll-unica77, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #888888;\"\u003eThe Civilisation explores the necessity of hope despite the complexities and challenges of contemporary civilisation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888888;\"\u003eThe artist depicts memories or feelings of cities: evoking the exuberant series The Secret Gardens Paintings – metropolitan areas are set amongst thriving vegetation, forming bright, imagined landscapes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888888;\"\u003eRealistic elements are contrasted with other elements such as Pointillist techniques and thrown paint. Evoking the themes of chaos and hope at the heart of the series, the artist favours the latter practice for its lack of control, embodying his maxim ‘You just have to believe’. Hirst also overlays the compositions with coloured spots arranged in grids, made using the tops of his paint tubes. These formations, immediately recalling his Spot Paintings, are implemented to evoke the sense of the ordered and engineered elements of cities, which randomly decay and are replaced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Damien Hirst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56804708057471,"sku":null,"price":7500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/1771\/5327\/files\/1733580968-19219500.png?v=1768994290"},{"product_id":"damien-hirst-aurora-dawn","title":"Aurora Dawn","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans'; font-size: 13.328px; color: #808080;\"\u003eSigned Limited Edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans'; font-size: 13.328px; color: #808080;\"\u003eMedium: Diasec-mounted Giclée on Aluminium Panel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans'; font-size: 13.328px; color: #808080;\"\u003eEdition Size: Timed Release\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans'; font-size: 13.328px; color: #808080;\"\u003eArtwork Size: 34.5\" x 34.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans'; font-size: 13.328px; color: #808080;\"\u003eReady to Hang\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Damien Hirst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56804867801471,"sku":null,"price":7500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/1771\/5327\/files\/1751129899-29173700.png?v=1768995576"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.generationgallery.com\/collections\/artists-damien-hirst.oembed","provider":"Generation Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
