ABOUT THE ART
Beginning with the first 'Spot' painting created in 1986, Damien Hirst established the essential characteristics of what was to become one of his best-known series: hand-painted colored circles arranged in a grid against a light background.
As the series evolved, so too did the guidelines. The artist ensured that each spot was painted with household gloss on canvas, and that the gaps between the spots were the same width as the spots in order to create what he has called the “harmony of where color can exist on its own, interacting with other colors, in a perfect format.” There are approximately 1,500 'Spot' paintings, from monumental canvases where no single color is ever repeated, to the most recent works, some of which comprise spots just 1 millimeter in diameter.
