Description:
This work by Damien Hirst, one of the most influential British contemporary artists, is part of his celebrated Spin Paintings series. Created in 2009 for the inauguration of the PinchukArtCentre in Kyiv, Ukraine, Shark Spin Painting exemplifies Hirst’s exploration of chance, energy, and movement.

The shark is the central motif, one of the most iconic images in Hirst’s creative universe, symbolizing life, death, power, and the sublime, reinforcing the work’s strong symbolic impact.

Hirst’s technique involves a spinning mechanism that distributes pigments across the canvas, generating vibrant explosions of color, fluid transitions, and unique compositions. Each piece is completely original and unrepeatable, conveying a distinctive visual energy rooted in the gestural painting tradition.

Hirst described these works as “a massive explosion of energy, full of life, color, and optimism.” In Shark Spin Painting, this vitality is multiplied, resulting in a work of striking aesthetic and emotional impact, representative of Hirst’s radical visual language.

Condition: Excellent. The painting is housed in its original museum-quality acrylic case, enhancing depth, pigment vibrancy, and giving the work a near-sculptural presence.

Provenance: Direct from the artist’s exhibition at the PinchukArtCentre, Kyiv.

Authenticity: Signed and sealed on the reverse; guaranteed original by L.A Studio.
