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).

- Piel De Aguja Mostaza, 2022, Fernando De AnaLocated in Madrid, ESIf there is an art gene, Fernando de Ana (Talavera de la Reina, 1979) and a graduate in Fine Arts, carries it with him. Since he was born he has been surrounded by oil and pencils, spatulas and turpentine. He belongs to the third generation of a saga of artists that began at the beginning of the 19th century with his great-uncle, José Pérez, painter and first director of the Cádiz Museum of Art, and continued with his father, Juan Carlos Jiménez, also a painter and Doctor. in Fine Arts. If his ancestors delighted in light and still lifes, Fernando de Ana has also wanted to explore other more contemporary languages, working first as an illustrator - he has received several international awards - and as a cartoonist, to later soak up design and the avant-garde Dutch, a pioneer country in this field, where he combined his artistic work with that of art director for more than a decade. His work has been exhibited in Prague, Bologna, Amsterdam or London, among other cities and has been selected and awarded in different art competitions. From that transversality of influences and from that symbiosis of classic and avant-garde references, now comes his maturity as an artist. Away from his comfort zone, the artist opts for his own language in which emotions prevail over the metallic. His way of being in the world beats in his work: human relationships marked by sex, loneliness and melancholy, anxiety as a catalyst for art, obsessions spinning in a spiral, repetition of patterns, morbid agitated with tenderness infinite, the frustrated Innocence that still breathes, moving it as a motor. Fernando de Ana's work responds to a mature creative process, built over several decades exploring different formats, where material, meaning and feeling go in the same direction. 'Forbbiden carnal', his elegant series in resin and neon, has already become an exponent by combining without complexes an apparently cold material with geometric limits with the warmth and sensuality of light, in such a way that it has achieved that both elements exchange natures. The author undresses through this meticulous technique and tells us about his inner world, his contradictions and his fears, all crossed...Category
