ARTIST BIO

Damien Hirst is a British multidisciplinary artist, born in Bristol in 1965. 

After growing up in Leeds, he moved to London in 1984 and completed a BA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College. Since the late 1980s, Damien Hirst has used a variety of media, from installation to painting, sculpture and drawing, to explore the complex relationships between art and science, life and death.

He believes that “art is about life and can’t really be anything else. There is nothing else.” His work explores and challenges modern belief systems and dissects the tensions and uncertainties at the heart of the human experience. From the age of 16, he regularly visited the anatomy department at Leeds Medical School where he practiced drawing cadavers. These experiences allowed him to see the difficulties he had with the idea of death as a living being. 

In 2024, Damien Hirst opened the major exhibition The Light That Shines at Château La Coste, allowing him to reveal the breadth of his art and practice through different series of his work, exhibited in the architects' pavilions of the estate.
