Dark Trees. The works on show offer a new emotional depth previously not seen in his paintings. The continued obsession of the artist with the universal triggers of life and death are at the forefront of the subject matter. The repeated representation of the human skull and other classic, memento mori references, create a dramatic visual dialogue that confronts the darkness that lies at the heart of human nature and experience.
Galería Hilario Galguera is honoured to present the opening of the exhibition by British artist Damien Hirst titled “Dark Trees” on Thursday, April 15th, 2010 at 20:00 hours.
Painted by the artist between 2007-9 this new series of over 30 'Blue Paintings' marks a significant departure and crucial moment of transition from his conceptual signature works and the more clinical and scientific, Pharmaceutical or 'dot' paintings that have become so recognisable as Hirst works.
Revealing a surprisingly meditative and spiritual side to his personality, these works offer a new emotional depth previously not seen in his paintings. His continued obsession with the universal triggers of life and death are at the forefront of the subject matter. The repeated representation of the human skull and other classic, memento mori references, create a dramatic visual dialogue that confronts the darkness that lies at the heart of human nature and experience.
On exhibition for the first time in the American continent “Dark Trees” will be open to thepublic from Friday, April 16th, 2010 until Friday, July 30th, 2010.
