Description
With 107 works, Cherry Blossoms marks a new chapter in Damien Hirsts career-long exploration of the physical relationship between artist and canvas that began with his Spot Paintings in 1986. Hirst describes his cherry blossoms as garish and messy and fragile; the series signals a shift in Hirsts career away from minimalism and the imagined mechanical painter toward a painting that delights in the potential haphazardness of the medium, as well as the artists own fallibility as a creator. Using a conceptual approach, Hirst explores questions of beauty, color and excess in these paintings. Rich in color and striking in number, Hirsts Cherry Blossoms are both an appropriation and a tribute to the pictorial art of the 19th and 20th centuries. Presented at the Fondation Cartier in Paris in 2021, Cherry Blossoms was Damien Hirsts first museum exhibition in France.
