Meaning & Analysis

Water is one of four prints that compose The Elements series. This series is inspired by the four elements, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. For thousands of years, it was believed that these four elements made up and influenced all matter in the universe. Hirst has long been interested in the representation of the elements, as evidenced in his 1992 artwork, Pharmacy in which he produced four glass bottles, filled with coloured liquids to represent each of the elements.

In Water, Hirst returns to one of his most well-known motifs, the butterfly. Like Hirst’s Kaleidoscope series and the Mandala paintings, butterflies play a central role in the creative process of the print. When looked at from a distance, it seems as if the print is simply composed of geometric shapes. Taking a closer look at the composition, however, reveals the butterflies that make up the intricate patterns.

  • 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.
