Rainbow Heart
RAINBOW HEART (LARGE), 2020
Laminated Giclée print on aluminium composite panel
70 x 72.7 cm
Edition of 1698
Hand-signed and numbered by the artist, verso.
Created in 2020 as a limited edition, the 'Butterfly Heart' edition consists of digitally made photographed real butterfly wings placed onto a heart-shaped aluminum panel. This edition includes Hirst´s best-known motifs; the butterflies, and the rainbow color alignment on the heart-shaped print.
Shortly after graduating from Goldsmiths, in 1989, Hirst began working on a series of paintings after seeing flies get stuck on primed canvases in his Brixton studio. Taking this idea, but wanting to create something beautiful, Hirst started fixing the bodies of dead butterflies to monochrome gloss-painted canvases. The appeal of butterflies is created largely by the appearance of life they retain in death.
