No Love Lost, Blue Paintings by Damien Hirst
14 Oct, 2009 - 24 Jan, 2010
The Wallace Collection is delighted to be hosting an exhibition of 25 new paintings by Damien Hirst, including two triptychs, which will be shown in the UK for the first time.
The 鈥楴o Love Lost鈥� series, created between 2006 and 2008, marks the artist鈥檚 return to the solitary practice of painting. Since the start of his career, Hirst has challenged what it means to be an artist. 鈥楴o Love Lost鈥� bears witness to a bold new direction in his work: a series of paintings that, in the artist鈥檚 words are 鈥渄eeply connected to the past.鈥� Their exhibition at the Wallace Collection, arguably the most intimate national museum in the world, is significant. In contrast to the white walls of a contemporary gallery, Hirst has opted to present these works in a classical environment, in the context of Old Master paintings in the great European tradition. His works will engage in a dramatic visual dialogue with the works of art displayed in the adjacent sumptuous rooms.
