Damien Hirst: Requiem II, Limited by Damien Hirst
Requiem II details all the previously unseen skull paintings from the Requiem exhibition at the Pinchuk Art Center, Kiev, Ukraine, in April 2009. Featuring over 40 works painted between 2006 and 2008, Hirst uses paint to convey the darker, philosophical attributes of death. Emerging from the midnight darkness, his Requiem skull paintings speak of a remembrance of corporeality and the transportation from body into soul. Using the skull as representative of this transition, Hirst appeals to our universal nature, his art merging sublime romanticism with life's cold scientific reality: together we drive towards death.Damien Hirst was born in Bristol in 1965 and studied at Goldsmiths College in London. He staged the now-famous 'Freeze' show in London in 1988. In 1991, he had his first solo exhibition, 'In and Out of Love,' in London, and the following year, he was a significant part of the pioneering Young British Artists exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London. In 1995, he was awarded the coveted Turner Prize in London. Hirst's art has been featured in numerous notable group and solo exhibitions around the world. He divides his time between Devon, London, and Mexico.
