ABOUT 
DAMIEN HIRST

Damien Hirst (*1965, Bristol) is a leading contemporary artist known for his exploration of themes such as life, death, and impermanence. His Spin Paintings are among his most recognized works, developed in the 1990s as part of his experimental approach to painting.

SPIN PAINTINGS - TECHNIQUE  &  CHARACTERISTICS

The Spin Paintings are created by applying paint to a rotating canvas, resulting in dynamic, radial compositions. This technique removes the direct control of the artist, allowing chance to play a role in the final outcome. Each work is unique, with no two pieces being identical.

KEY FEATURES OF SPIN PAINTINGS

- Strong, contrasting colors

- Randomized, centrifugal patterns

- High-energy, motion-driven compositions

- Influences from pop and street art aesthetics

HISRT's  SIGNATURE  &  INFLUENCE

Hirst’s works have redefined contemporary art by challenging traditional aesthetics and materiality. His art merges science, consumer culture, and existential themes, making him one of the most commercially successful artists today. In 2008, he made history by selling over 200 works at Sotheby’s for £111 million—without gallery representation.

Alongside the Spin Paintings, his portfolio includes major series like the Spot Paintings, Formaldehyde Sculptures, and Butterfly Works, exhibited in leading galleries worldwide. The Spin Paintings remain a signature of his work, blending controlled experimentation with unpredictability.
