Que Muero Porque No Muero
2005
London-based multi-media artist and Turner Prize winner Damien Hirst is a pioneer YBA who helped to establish the 1990's British Art Scene. Thirty years on he continues to challenge artistic conventions, producing works that are multidimensional with a sense of irony, often engaging with adverse contemporary culture, power dynamics, and value play.

His 2018 presentation at BASTIAN Berlin showcased his iconic butterfly diptychs: radiant and alluring colour-blocked canvases whose obscure reference to a morbid nursery rhyme exhibit both the artist's immaculate aesthetic as well as his enduring use of contradiction. Animals are a recurring subject, with butterflies especially pervasive throughout his body of work, and are used to explore themes of death, immortality, metamorphosis, and resurrection.
