About this work
Damien Hirst's Ala-His is a 2011 woodcut print that exemplifies the artist's ongoing fascination with pharmaceutical imagery and the aesthetics of medical culture. Measuring 11 1/2 by 9 1/8 inches, this intimate work employs the traditional woodcut technique to depict Hirst's characteristic spot motif, reimagined through the lens of biochemical representation. The print's visual economy and bold graphic quality demonstrate Hirst's ability to translate his conceptual concerns about mortality, science, and consumer culture into accessible multiples without diminishing their intellectual rigor. This work represents an excellent entry point for collectors interested in Hirst's practice, offering the conceptual depth of his larger installations in a more approachable format. As part of his acclaimed pharmaceutical series, Ala-His connects to the broader themes that have established Hirst as one of the most influential contemporary artists. The woodcut medium adds historical resonance while maintaining the clinical precision characteristic of his aesthetic. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
