About This Lot
Gabriel H15-4 (2021) comes from Damien Hirst's series The Archangels, which draws from four quadriptychs in his celebrated Cherry Blossoms painting series. This vibrant work presents a lush cascade of cherry blossoms against a serene blue sky, capturing the fleeting beauty and delicate transience of life. Named after the archangel Gabriel, the piece intertwines themes of life, death, and spirituality, key elements of Hirst's artistic exploration. Executed in his signature dot technique, Gabriel offers a modern and poignant interpretation of spiritual imagery, portraying the exuberant bloom of cherry blossoms in all their ephemeral glory.
