Meaning & Analysis

The Wonder Of You series is important in its use of the butterfly motif that has been prominent throughout Hirst’s career. The series is reminiscent of part of Hirst’s 1991 In And Out Of Love (Butterfly Paintings And Ashtrays) installation that fixed the bodies of dead butterflies into monochrome gloss paint. The artist’s preoccupation with butterflies is rooted in the way that even when the insects are dead, they appear to be alive. Well known for his obsession with mortality, Hirst claims that his use of the butterfly motif is a symbol for the celebration of life rather than death.

Your Touch directly references Hirst’s work from 1991, showing the butterflies against the bright colour field as though stuck to the gloss paint. Scattered across the composition, each butterfly is unique and placed at random, some even appearing upside down.

  • 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.
