Meaning & Analysis

Clash is part of Hirst’s Eat the Rich series. Composed of twelve prints, this series is inspired by pharmaceutical packaging. Each print in the series uses the familiar format of a box of tablets, something that everyone will have encountered at some point in their life. The tablet names, however, all carry connotations of force and aggression, contrasting with their medicinal and healing properties.

Hirst has long been interested in modern medicine and explored pharmaceuticals in his Medicine Cabinet series which the artist was working on while studying Fine Art at Goldsmiths College in London in the late 1980s. Throughout the Eat the Rich series, Hirst is able to pursue wider themes of life and death, mortality and 21st century society's obsession with modern medicine.

  • 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.
