Meaning & Analysis

The print is part of the Psalms series, a large series composed of 150 works. Hirst started work on this series in 2008 and all of the prints are made using butterfly wings on painted canvases. The Latin name for the print originates from the Old Testament and each print in the series is named after a Christian psalm.

The butterfly is a signature part of Hirst’s visual language and iconography. Hirst was drawn to the insects due to the significant spiritual symbolism they carry. The Greeks used butterflies to depict the Psyche and soul and in Christian imagery, butterflies have been used to signify the resurrection. The butterfly’s symbolic heritage is significant as Hirst has always been fascinated with themes of life, death and religion.

  • Damien Hirst, born in Bristol in 1965, is often hailed the enfant terrible of the contemporary art world. His provocative works challenge conventions and his conceptual brilliance spans installations, paintings, and sculptures, often exploring themes of mortality and the human experience. As a leading figure of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement in the late '80s, Hirst's work has dominated the British art scene for decades and has become renowned for being laced with controversy, thus shaping the dialogue of modern art.
