Yellow abstract shapes, perhaps suggestive of flowers, occupy the upper sections of Brian Clarke’s ‘Falling Water’ (2018). Imitating fresh paint dripping down a wall, yellow streams of varying thicknesses flow from the flowers to cover almost the entire surface of the stained glass folding screen....
Brian Clarke’s ‘Orchids and the Void of Lust’ is a stained glass folding screen produced in 2017, made of 12 sections held together by a black wooden frame. Large blue flowers extend over a flat green surface, with darker leaf shapes to suggest a sense...
Emblematic as they are of both the ephemerality of life and the romance of death, butterflies have long been considered one of Damien Hirst’s acclaimed hallmarks, symbolising the diverse concepts of freedom, beauty, life and death. Among his most serene compositions from the series is the much sought after editioned screenprint ‘Love is All You Need’ from 2016...read more
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...
Based on Gerhard Richter’s eponymous painting from 1990, ‘Abstraktes Bild’ is a chromogenic print published by HENI in 2014. Produced through Richter’s signature use of a squeegee to distribute colour across the surface, this image is dominated by acid chromatic contrasts of reds, blues and...
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...
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. Nitobe records that Honour was the highest prize of earthly existence and that fame, not wealth or knowledge, stood as the goal of youths.
Referencing Impressionism, Pointillism and Action Painting, the Cherry Blossoms are about the spontaneous joy of spring. Damien Hirst said “Cherry Blossoms are about beauty and life and death. They’re extreme – there’s something hopeful yet hopeless about them. They’re art but taken from nature. They’re...

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
