- Biography
-
Damien Hirst was born in 1965 in the UK and studied Art at Goldsmiths, University of London. He is a well-known British contemporary artist, and his works often feature motifs of skulls symbolizing the vanity of life and the futility of existence, which are considered his signature pieces. Hirst transforms this motif into a contemporary memento mori, juxtaposing the skull representing the end of life with the eternity symbolized by diamonds, paradoxically turning it into artwork. The excessively sparkling skull captivates the viewer's eyes by repeating our transient existence. Additionally, by putting butterflies onto canvas (butterfly color paintings), seemingly alive yet dead, the artist explores the themes of life and death through Art.
데미안 허스트는 1965년 영국에서 태어나, 골드스미스 대학교에서 미술을 전공했다. 그는 영국의 유명한 현대예술가로, 인생무상과 삶의 허무를 의미하는 해골에 모티프를 둔 작품이 그의 대표작들이다. 데미안 허스트는 이것을 현대의 메멘토 모리(memento mori)로 전환하여, 삶의 종말인 해골을 다이아몬드가 의미하는 영원성과 접목, 역설적으로 작품으로 만들었다. 지나치게 반짝이는 해골은 우리의 덧없는 존재를 반복하며, 죽음을 극복하는 가능성을 야기하는 눈부신 부적과 같이 관객의 눈을 현혹한다. 또한 나비를 캔버스에 고정시켜 살아있는 듯 죽은 나비를 통해 작가는 생명과 죽음, 예술과 삶의 문제를 이야기하기도 한다
