Damien Hirst's Biphenyl C from 1995 exemplifies the artist's celebrated spot painting series, which emerged as one of his most iconic and enduring bodies of work. Executed in household gloss on canvas, this intimate square composition features Hirst's signature arrangement of precisely rendered colored dots against a white ground. The use of commercial paint creates a characteristically flat, mechanical finish that challenges traditional notions of artistic hand and gesture, while the seventeen-inch format offers a more personal, domestic scale than his monumental museum pieces. This work comes from a pivotal moment in Hirst's career, shortly after his Turner Prize win, when the Young British Artists movement was transforming the contemporary art landscape. The spot paintings remain highly sought after by collectors worldwide, representing a cornerstone of Hirst's practice and 1990s British art more broadly. Their systematic beauty and conceptual rigor continue to captivate institutions and private collectors alike. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
