An exhibition of 25 new paintings including two triptychs
An exhibition of 25 new paintings including two triptychs. The paintings created between 2006 and 2008, marks the artist's return to the solitary practice of painting. Since the start of his career, he has challenged what it means to be an artist. 'No Love Lost' bears witness to a bold new direction in his work: a series of paintings that, in the artist's words are "deeply connected to the past". In contrast to the white walls of a contemporary gallery, Hirst has opted to present these works in a classical environment, in the context of Old Master paintings in the great European tradition. His works engage in a dramatic visual dialogue with the works of art displayed in the adjacent sumptuous rooms.
