Hell

Internationally recognised for his irreverent approach to artmaking, blurring the lines between media and expanding their possibilities, Damien Hirst has helped set contemporary art on a practically limitless course. Through a decisive interplay of technology, technique and material, Hirst’s artworks engage with his signature themes of love, death, religion, science, belief and beauty to create works that are both visually and conceptually compelling. Damien Hirst’s Hell, 2012, depicts a series of crushed cigarettes and a single cigar lined up on medicine cabinet shelves, against a mirrored background.
