LIFE IN COLOR
“Whenever I look at the question of how to live, the answer's always staring me in the face. I'm already doing it." --- Damien Hirst
For Damien Hirst, the fleetingness of life is precisely what makes it so beautiful. Throughout his infamous career, Hirst has become legendary for his simple and shockingly positive approach to taboo topics like death, decay, and mortality. For Hist, these are not topics to be scared of, but to embrace: after all, we get to be alive now, and life is beautiful.
With Life in Color, we invite you to explore how Hirst has celebrated the beauty of life, in all its facets, with striking, bold, and vivid colors. This exhibit features pieces across the range of his career, from his limited edition Cherry Blossom series The Virtues that was featured in the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, to his iconic Spot Paintings consisting of grids of color, to the glimmering Colour Chart, a standout symbol of Hirst's unique style and commentary.
Hirst is uniquely talented in using color theory, symmetry, and proportions to create enchanting pieces that connect to one's soul. Whether you relate deeply to Hirst's discussions on values and virtues, the ephemerality of human life, and the delicate balance of nature, or even if you simply want to live with spellbinding visuals in your home, Life In Color is the perfect opportunity to enter the world of Hirst.
For more than a decade, ARTON Contemporary has been a global leader in connecting Hirst's work with the world. Reach out to us, and we will be happy to assist you in adding a unique Hirst to your collection.
