Damien Hirst The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living

Description: Artist: Damien Hirst Title: The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living Medium: Lenticular 3D Print Size: 31.4" x 47.2" Frame: 32.5" x 48" x 2" Year: 2013 Edition: 66/150 Inscription: Signed and numbered on bottom front Documentation: Includes gallery certificate of authenticity Damien Hirst's "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" takes on a mesmerizing dimension in the realm of 3D Lenticular print. This iconic artwork, originally conceived in 1991, features a menacing shark suspended in a tank of formaldehyde. In this innovative lenticular format, the shark seemingly comes to life, its presence intensified by the dynamic visual effects. The 3D Lenticular technology adds a new layer of intrigue to Hirst's exploration of life and mortality. As viewers move around the artwork, the shark appears to shift and move within its aquatic confines, creating a sense of immediacy and engagement. The optical illusion enhances the visceral impact of the original installation, allowing audiences to perceive the predator in a heightened state of three-dimensional reality. Hirst's fascination with the fragility of life and the visceral impact of death takes on a renewed intensity in this lenticular iteration. The lifelike rendering of the shark, coupled with the dynamic nature of the print, invites contemplation on the transience of existence and challenges the traditional boundaries of artistic representation. "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" in 3D Lenticular form encapsulates Hirst's ability to merge conceptual depth with cutting-edge technology. This transformative adaptation of a seminal work provides viewers with an immersive encounter, inviting them to grapple with the profound themes that have made Hirst a central figure in contemporary art. Damien Hirst's 2013 Lenticular 3D print "The physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of someone Living" is signed "Damien Hirst" and numbered "66/150" on the bottom front. Purchase includes a certificate of authenticity from our gallery, Modern Artifact. About Damien Hirst Damien Hirst, born on June 7, 1965, in Bristol, England, is a renowned contemporary artist whose provocative and groundbreaking works have left an indelible mark on the art world. Hirst rose to prominence in the late 1980s as one of the leading figures of the Young British Artists (YBAs) movement. Known for his conceptual and often controversial approach, Hirst gained international acclaim with his series of artworks exploring themes of life, death, and the ephemeral nature of existence. One of his most iconic pieces, "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" (1991), features a preserved shark suspended in formaldehyde, challenging traditional notions of art and mortality. Hirst's fascination with the intersection of art and science is evident in his exploration of pharmaceutical themes, such as the series "Spot Paintings" and "Pill Cabinets." His audacious work often blurs the boundaries between art and commerce, exemplified by the 2007 piece "For the Love of God," a platinum skull adorned with diamonds. Throughout his career, Hirst has exhibited a relentless commitment to pushing artistic boundaries. His retrospective exhibition at Tate Modern in 2012, titled "Damien Hirst," showcased the evolution of his work and solidified his status as a major contemporary artist. Hirst's impact extends beyond the gallery space; he has become a cultural phenomenon, influencing not only the art world but also popular culture. Despite generating both acclaim and controversy, Damien Hirst remains an influential and prolific force in contemporary art. His oeuvre continues to evolve, encompassing diverse mediums and themes, ensuring that his legacy as a trailblazing artist endures. Damien Hirst's ability to challenge conventions and provoke thought has firmly established him as a central figure in the global art landscape.
