Requiem 2

Requiem 2

Synopsis

This details all the previously unseen skull paintings in the Requiem exhibition at the Pinchuk Art Centre, Kyiv, in April 2009. The book features a series of over 40 works, created between 2006 and 2008. Painting is a totally different way of working, but Hirst as an artist always remains himself. We are witnesses of an artistic balancing act between emotionally driven approaches to reality and a carefully calculated breakdown into color, form, composition, and abstraction.   Born in Bristol in 1965, Damien Hirst studied Goldsmith’s College. In 1988 he curated the now renowned exhibition, Freeze, help in London. In 1991, he had his first solo exhibition in London entitled In and Out of Love and the following year he was a major part of the groundbreaking Young British Artists exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery. He was awarded the prestigious Tate Gallery Turner Prize in 1995. Hirst’s work has been shown in many important group and solo shows throughout the world and his is now one of Britain’s most celebrated living artists. He lives and works in Devon and London.
