Damien Hirst: New Paintings (Interview)
One of the very best things that can happen to a thinking person is to have his assumptions flipped. When I met Damien Hirst on Bali’s Brawa Beach, where he was finishing an intense three-month painting session, I expected him to have a bumper sticker on his laptop that said, “Suck my cock vomit.” Which he did. But I didn’t expect him to be extraordinarily down-to-earth, generous, and aware of his own position in a way that is caring rather than cynical.
This interview is the first he’s given since deciding here in Bali to stop all his production pieces in order to focus on making his own paintings. In the process, it touches on everything from the suicide of his close friend to the essence of painting to five-foot wooden giraffes—with a detour on the nature of visual language using Vaseline and a cucumber.

Very honest interview with Damien revealing his insecurities on his new body of work .Was lucky enough to catch his Kiev show at the Pinchuh art center a couple of weeks ago and cant wait to see the next chapter unfold at The Whitecube galleries in November.
Much has been written and said in the press about Hirst over the years but you really have to see the show in person to understand an appreciate the sheer scale and ambitition of Damiens work.
His new paintings takes you that bit further exposing a vunrable and honest Hirst switching his many assistants for brushes and paints with only one assistant to keep him in clean brushes!
