“I really like making them. And I really like the machine, and I really like the movement. The movement sort of implies life. It’s the way the atoms move inside our bodies, it’s the way the planet moves that we stand on.
And the way all the other planets in space move around ours.
Every time a painting is finished, I’m desperate to do another one”
Since the mid-1990s, Hirst’s spin paintings have become as iconic as his famous “spot” paintings.
Participants, together with British artist Damien Hirst, had a chance to create their own works of art using spin painting machines designed by the artist and specially delivered to Kyiv, Ukraine, for this occasion. Some of the art pieces were signed by the artist himself.
The paintings in this collection were acquired at different times over seven years from previous owners, collectors, etc. Some of the artworks were inspected by the HIAC team and have been examined as genuine artworks created at Damien’s event.
