Dark Trees: Damien Hirst
Damien Hirst: Dark Trees
Hardcover | Other Criteria | 2010
Dark Trees is a focused, richly illustrated monograph documenting Damien Hirst’s darker, more meditative extension of his acclaimed Cherry Blossoms series. In this body of work, Hirst shifts away from the exuberance of spring into a brooding emotional landscape—capturing blossoms at the edge of decay with thick impasto, somber tones, and expressive abstraction.
This volume offers full-page reproductions of key works from the Dark Trees series, accompanied by studio photography and thoughtful critical texts. It explores the tension between beauty and mortality, chaos and control, presence and disappearance—themes that run deep throughout Hirst’s career.
A must-have for collectors, scholars, and fans of Hirst’s evolving painterly language, Dark Trees highlights the artist’s return to traditional mediums with contemporary urgency.
Dark Trees, the exhibition catalog for Damien Hirst's show at Hilario Galguera in April 2010, was published in August 2010 by Other Criteria.
