Damien Hirst

The MMCA will present the first major solo exhibition in Asia of the work of the internationally acclaimed British artist, Damien Hirst (b. 1965). The exhibition features over 50 works spanning the artist's career. Featuring installations, sculptures and paintings, many of which have not been seen in Asia before, the exhibition includes some of Hirst's most iconic series, including Natural History (formaldehyde sculptures), Spin Paintings, Medicine Cabinets, Cherry Blossoms, and Spot and Butterfly Paintings. The exhibition charts the emergence of Hirst's most famous themes. Throughout his career, Hirst has reflected on the complex relationships between beauty, religion, science, life and death.
