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 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 his 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).

- Love disguises itself as a MenBy Juan Jose GarayLocated in LAS ROZAS DE MADRID, ESDue to the size of the work, it was Shipped rolled in a tube without a frame Enamel and Acrylic on Canvas The painting I will describe is an impressive and enigmatic work that conveys an inexhaustible energy and a deep sense of creativity. The dark brown background of the painting provides an apparently calm and serene atmosphere, but the viewer quickly realizes that this work is much more than that. The work itself is an impressive example of the artistic style known as "action painting". This style is characterized by the spontaneous and energetic application of paint, with the artist using a variety of techniques and materials to create a work that seems to be driven by movement and force. In this case, the artist has used a drip and splash approach to create a chaotic and vibrant texture in the background. In the center of the painting is a female figure, represented in a series of white lines and shapes that strongly contrast with the dark background. The figure has an abstract appearance, but clearly represents a woman, with her curved and stylized lines suggesting the shape of her...Category
