English Culture IV - Damien Hirst

Damien Steven Hirst (born 1965) is an English artist and the most prominent member of the group known as "Young British Artists" . He is internationally renowned, and is reputed to be the richest living artist to date.

Damien Hirst’s wide-ranging practice – installations, sculpture, painting and drawing – has sought to challenge the boundaries between art, science and popular culture. His energy and inventiveness, and his consistently visceral, visually arresting work, has made him a leading artist of his generation.

Hirst explores the uncertainty at the core of human experience; love, life, death, loyalty and betrayal through unexpected and unconventional media. Best known for the ‘Natural History’ works, which present animals in vitrines suspended in formaldehyde such as the iconic, his works recast fundamental questions concerning the meaning of life and the fragility of biological existence."

For me this artist has a very special sens of the life and everything is a reason to make art. The life is art.
