Two Pills Small By Damien Hirst

Product Description

Two Pills is a giclee signed limited edition of 75 originally produced to accompany Damien Hirst’s 2004 New York exhibition ‘ The Elusive Truth’. Focusing on a selection of Hirst’s over-sized h&-painted tablets, the medicine cabinet appears almost as a shrine or totem praising modern pharmaceuticals. However, while medicine helps to prolong life & prevent illness, it is ineffectual in holding off death completely. While Hirst’s pills remain shiny & inviting
- immortalised as they are in the pristine pharmaceutical cabinet
- the artist puts into question society’s reliance on chemicals to feel, & stay, alive. Image Credit: Courtesy Other Criteria. © Damien Hirst & Science Ltd.
