Damien Hirst, one of Britain’s leading contemporary artists, is set to display his “Cherry Blossoms” paintings at The National Art Center, Tokyo just in time for Japan’s highly-anticipated cherry blossom season.
Death has been a constant theme in Hirst’s works, and this exhibition continues the arc in his signature dot painting style. Hirst explains the inspiration behind his works below.
The showing will be Damien Hirst’s first major solo exhibition in the country and will include 24 select paintings from his 107-work series, the largest of which measure over seven meters in length. Hirst completed the paintings in 2020, and first displayed the pieces at Fondation Cartier in Paris last summer. The upcoming exhibition, scheduled for May 2 to May 23rd later this year, will harmonize with its natural backdrop as the cherry blossom trees around the museum begin to shed and scatter their pink petals.
