They cut to the heart of his deepest existential questions. Decades ago, as a trailblazing young artist haunted by mortality and all it implies \u2014 life, death, desire, consumption, beauty and horror \u2014 Hirst went searching for an art form that could capture the fragility and fleetingness of existence. He landed on animals, and to the shock and amusement of many, he made them his medium, working with sharks, sheep, pigs, cows, fish and insects.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For his first solo gallery exhibition, in 1991, live butterflies were the short-lived stars, hatching from  pupae that he had glued to white canvases. They fluttered through the space, fed on nectar, mated and eventually died. Hirst went on to incorporate the delicate winged creatures, both dead and alive, in a variety of other works, including arranged in paintings in captivating kaleidoscopic patterns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHirst is a conceptual artist, but to him even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/style\/conceptual\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conceptual art<\/a> should be attractive and aesthetically appealing,\u201d says James Englund, founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/arton-contemporary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arton Contemporary,<\/a> which has been offering the artist\u2019s work for more than a decade. \u201cSo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/damien-hirst-newport-street-gallery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">everything he ever does<\/a>, whether book publishing or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/damien-hirst\/art\/paintings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">painting<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/damien-hirst\/art\/prints-works-on-paper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">print<\/a> \u2014 or a cow or shark in formaldehyde \u2014 it\u2019s always attractive looking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/mixed-media\/damien-hirst-damien-hirst-suiko-glitter-2022\/id-a_11276682\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARTON-CONTEMPORARY-Damien-Hirst-Suiko-Detail-950x634.jpg\" alt=\"A detail of British artist Damien Hirst\u2019s 2022 gicl\u00e9e print Suiko, depicting an arrangement of red-and-black butterfly wings on a red glitter background\" class=\"wp-image-405736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARTON-CONTEMPORARY-Damien-Hirst-Suiko-Detail-950x634.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARTON-CONTEMPORARY-Damien-Hirst-Suiko-Detail-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARTON-CONTEMPORARY-Damien-Hirst-Suiko-Detail-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARTON-CONTEMPORARY-Damien-Hirst-Suiko-Detail-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARTON-CONTEMPORARY-Damien-Hirst-Suiko-Detail.jpg 1318w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The work is an intricate composition of butterfly wings interspersed with glitter.

The series contains five different editions, each named for a historical female ruler, and each printed with a complex pattern of butterflies on aluminum accented with glitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/mixed-media\/damien-hirst-damien-hirst-suiko-glitter-2022\/id-a_11276682\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This spectacularly kaleidoscopic piece<\/a>, which Arton Contemporary is offering on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/auctions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1stDibs Auctions<\/a>, pays homage to Suiko (554\u2013628), the first recorded empress of Japan, who is credited with bringing Chinese and Korean influences into her country. She\u2019s also known for officially recognizing Buddhism, and the composition has a fitting mandala-like design that\u2019s hard to take your eyes off of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thousands of butterflies seem mesmerized in unity as they encircle their commanding yet fragile leader at the center. \u201cThey feel like they are unlocking the unfathomable mysteries of the universe,\u201d the artist said on Instagram last year after launching the editions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In typical Hirst fashion, the composition is full of irresistible contradictions. The seemingly infinite nature of the pattern summons the eternal, while the diaphanous butterflies dissolve into a million fleeting components. Each black-tipped wing teeters between negative and positive space, making the picture pulse with life even as the butterflies are frozen in time. The aluminum ground yields tremendous detail and a luminous sheen, while the addition of glitter adds tactility, grittiness and density in addition to sparkle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, as the French poet Charles Baudelaire famously declared, the essence of modernity is encapsulated by \u201cthe ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent,\u201d then Hirst\u2019s decades-long fixation on butterflies is utterly modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"856\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Weng-Contemporary-Damien-Hirst-Justice-The-Virtues-856x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/auctions\/art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFind More Art on 1stDibs Auctions\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/auctions\/art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Shop All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Damien Hirst, butterflies are far more than an alluring recurring motif.
