Damien Hirst

“It’s as if the artist is the animal and the painting is the record of the artist’s tracks through space and time … I did not want just a record, but rather the actual movement.” speaking about "A Hundred Years" Black Ritual is the most important piece of artwork that I have ever experienced. I expected one thing with my initial conception of the work and was lead through a process by the artist that revealed something entirely other. It still engages my mind years later.
