# Damien Hirst: Cerisiers En Fleurs: Damien Hirst: Cherry Blossoms, French Edition - Hardcover

by **Damien Hirst** (Artist), **Emanuele Coccia** (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), **Gilda Williams** (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

**Incandescent and celebratory paintings of cherry blossoms from Damien Hirst, in a glorious oversize volume with 18 gatefold spreads**

With 107 works, _Cherry Blossoms_ marks a new chapter in Damien Hirst's career-long exploration of the physical relationship between artist and canvas that began with his _Spot Paintings_ in 1986. Hirst describes his cherry blossoms as "garish and messy and fragile"; the series signals a shift in Hirst's career away from minimalism and "the imagined mechanical painter" toward a painting that delights in the potential haphazardness of the medium, as well as the artist's own fallibility as a creator. Using a conceptual approach, Hirst explores questions of beauty, color and excess in these paintings. Rich in color and striking in number, Hirst's _Cherry Blossoms_ are both an appropriation and a tribute to the pictorial art of the 19th and 20th centuries. Presented at the Fondation Cartier in Paris in 2021, _Cherry Blossoms_ was Damien Hirst's first museum exhibition in France.  
**Damien Hirst** (born 1965) rose to prominence in the 1990s as one of the Young British Artists, garnering attention for his controversial site-specific pieces. A 1989 graduate of Goldsmiths College, Hirst was awarded the Turner Prize in 1995. Now one of the contemporary art world's most famous figures, Hirst continues to surprise audiences with a staggering diversity of work, ranging from sculpture and painting to installation and performance art. In 2012, a retrospective of his 30-year career was staged at Tate Modern. Hirst is represented by Gagosian.
