Damien Hirst, the English artist who is responsible for provocative and often dark content, takes on what seems to be a sense of lightheartedness with his Butterfly paintings. Art enthusiasts are most familiar with his skull images, spot paintings, and pharmaceutical paraphernalia and themes. While evoking a sense of mortality, a shift seems to take place in his bright, wonder-filled paintings and Diamond Dust prints.
Looks can be deceiving. Often controversial and consistently prolific, Hirst's Butterfly paintings are not as light and whimsical as one may believe them to be. True to his nature, Hirst uses the butterfly as a metaphor for mortality, and it is this stability that continues to draw people in. Hirst's paintings, along with his Diamond Dust prints are available at Guy Hepner in West Hollywood.
