About this work

Damien Hirst's Rhodotorulic Acid from 2011 is an intimate woodcut print measuring six inches square. Part of his celebrated pharmaceutical series, the work showcases Hirst's meticulous approach to printmaking, rendering the geometric precision and clinical aesthetic that characterizes his exploration of medicine, mortality, and consumer culture. The compact format intensifies the visual impact of the composition, demonstrating the artist's ability to distill his conceptual concerns into miniature form while maintaining the bold graphic sensibility found throughout his oeuvre. This work represents an accessible entry point for collectors interested in Hirst's radical examination of contemporary society's relationship with science and commerce. Woodcut prints from this period have become increasingly sought after as they combine traditional printmaking techniques with Hirst's conceptual rigor. The modest scale makes it ideal for intimate viewing spaces while carrying the full weight of his artistic vision. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
