Damien Hurst has returned to painting

Exhibition of new paintings by Hirst Demiena starting this fall at London's Museum Wallace Collection

Wallace Collection Museum of London announced the exhibition of new paintings Demiena Hurst (Damien Hirst). It will open to visitors October 14, 2009 and will last until 24 January 2010. The exposition will comprise 25 «Blue pictures» (The Blue Paintings), including two triptych created in 2006-2008. All of them are seen before the British public for the first time.

C the very beginning of his career, Hurst continually sought to challenge those restrictions that exist in art, and even the very notion of «artist». Series «Blue pictures» mark a new direction in his work, which is very different from the whole, than the author was famous before that. According to the artist, this work «have a deep connection with the past». That is why the choice of exhibition space has been made in favor of Wallace Collection - one of the chamber museums owning a beautiful collection of fine and decorative art XV - XIX centuries. Instead of white walls of galleries of contemporary art Damien Hurst decided to present their creations in the classical context: surrounded by paintings of old masters, antique furniture and porcelain, sculpture, and ancient armor. «I have decided to show my new work here, because this is a family collection, which is very impressed with me. It seems that you are very far from the surrounding world. I think that my paintings place here, among other works and objects from different times », - said the artist.

Damien Hurst - one of the few live artists, was honored to exhibit his works in the Wallace Collection. So far, the most famous of them was Lyusien Freud (Lucian Freud), exhibition of works held in the museum in 2004.
