Meaning & Analysis

Anarchy is one of twelve silkscreen prints that compose the Eat the Rich series. In this series, Hirst depicts pharmaceutical packaging. The artist, however, replaces the tablets’ brand name with a word implying violence, force or aggression, as is seen in this print with the word ‘Anarchy’. Other examples from the series are words such as ‘Riot’, ‘Attack’ and ‘Clash’. In this series, Hirst’s fascination with pharmaceutical packaging is apparent. This interest was pursued much earlier in Hirst’s artistic career with his Medicine Cabinets series from the 1980s.

The influence of conceptual sculptors such as Sol Le Witt and Donald Judd can be seen in the minimalist design of the packaging. The understated design reflects a confidence in modern medicine and the modernist fantasy that, thanks to scientific developments, everyone and everything can be cured.

  • 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.
