In 2021, Damien unveiled ‘The Virtues’ (H9), his second print series after his “garish and messy and fragile” ‘Cherry Blossoms’ (2018-20) paintings. The monumental canvases have been translated here into a vivid series of eight laminated Giclée prints on aluminium composite panels which captures the...
Derived from Gerhard Richter’s eponymous oil on canvas from 2006, ‘Haggadah’ (2014) is characterised by tantalising and exciting passages of yellow, grey, red, green and blue. Published as a chromogenic print by HENI, ‘Haggadah’ is entrancing for its seemingly endless layers of mesmerising paint and changing...
Born out a practice of destruction was Gerhard Richter’s ‘Cage’ series of six paintings from 2006. Invigorated by the dynamic bodily movements of the artist, Richter’s monumental ‘Cage’ canvases are rich in texture and captivating in their depth of colour. Emotive, layered and full of selected accidents, the ‘Cage’ series pays tribute to the great experimental composer John Cage (1912-92). Richter...

Damien Hirst’s seemingly abstract candy-coloured flower field, ‘Garden of Dreams’ (2018), is an engulfing facsimile print from his ‘Veil Paintings’ series (2017). Across the series Hirst filled the pictorial space with Bonnard-like colours using a technique reminiscent of Pointillism to create veil-like works, compositions that actas 'a barrier, a curtain between two things...it’s solid yet invisible and reveals and yet obscures the truth’...read more
Inazō Nitobe defines Honour as having a ‘vivid consciousness of personal dignity and worth’. At times in which Honour threatened to reach ‘morbid excess’ it would be counterbalanced by preaching of magnanimity and patience.
