Damien Hirst
British artist Damien Hirst is widely considered the enfant terrible of contemporary art. He is the most prominent of the so-called Young British Artists, or YBAs, a group, largely composed of Hirst’s classmates at Goldsmiths, in London, that began exhibiting together in warehouses and factories after 1988 and is known for the use of unconventional materials and “shock tactics” in his paintings, prints, sculptures and other works.
In the 1990s, Hirst said, “I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.” And indeed, he is notorious for piquing critics and baffling the public with such pieces as his signature glass vitrines containing dead sheep or sharks in formaldehyde, and his diamond-encrusted skull, For the Love of God.
Working primarily in sculpture, Hirst takes after French modernist master Marcel Duchamp in his use of ready-made objects and materials, which he combines to ironic effect. He often creates in series, as with "The Cure (Violet)" and "The Cure (Turquoise)," both from 2014, which are among several pill paintings referencing Andy Warhol’s embrace of mass production.
Belonging to Hirst's ongoing series of “spot” paintings, begun in the 1980s, the 2005 piece Xylene Cyanol Dye Solution is striking for its machinelike, industrial uniformity and almost childlike simplicity, a seeming rebuke to the idea of the artist-as-genius.
In addition to making art, Hirst has launched stores that sell editioned works (Other Criteria), a restaurant (Pharmacy2) and even his own London museum (Newport Street Gallery).

- 'Virtual Insanity' Limited Edition Screen Print, 2020By HijackLocated in New York, NYStreet Pop Art limited edition silkscreen print ‘Virtual Insanity’ by prodigy contemporary street-artist Hijack, was created in 2020 as a part of his environmentally conscious series. The koala is an endangered species with VR goggles on, clinging to a stop sign is a brilliant cultural commentary dialing on the global climate crisis and natural habitat preservation. Hijack remarked of the work, "At this pace, we’re all going to have to plug into the matrix in order to enjoy all the biodiversity and ecosystems that we’ve lost." Hijack has become recognized on a global scale for his activist mentality and has recently been incorporating themes of environmentalism and global climate awareness in his artworks. His visual commentary is thought provoking and captivating with vibrant pop-art colors. Edition of 80, signed by the artist on the lower front, and stamped on verso. Arriving ready-to-install, the blue chip print is custom framed in white finish and is completed with museum caliber non-glare UV protective glass.

Signed and numbered by the Artist, stamped and dated on verso, number #20 of edition. The young street-art star has developed a consistent signature style that fluidly blends the worlds of contemporary and street-art together in a mixture similar to that of his mentors, such as the legendary Banksy, Shepard Fairey, KAWS, and his father, Mr. Brainwash. Hijack’s work is a direct approach to present day cultural commentary, he creates daring thought-provoking, layered concepts with visually vibrant presentation. Hijack has crafted a persona, inspired by the spirit of music and the poetry of everyday moments, that creates colorful and meaningful perspectives on life. Hijack's blue chip artworks continue to inspire revelation in the art world as he creates with imaginative landscapes, brilliantly constructed juxtapositions, and activist ideologies. Hijack’s work often comments on the contemporary world in a humorous, refreshing, and thought-provoking manner and have been seen in galleries and murals of cultural hot spots around the globe. HIJACK, born in 1992, started as an underground street artist, silently stenciling the streets at night. In April 2013, Hijack took the United Kingdom art...Category
