damien hirst

FRIDAY finally ended.
woots!


we learnt a new artist today,Damien Hirst
ohh man,you shud check out his works,its damn awesome!!!!!

hes one of my favourite artist ler.
let me describe to you one of his works,
imagine this
you walk into a museum,and u see 3 door sized paintings which is just black,the whole thing is black.
however,when u walk closer to examine the artwork,you realise that..
its all dead houseflies

man he is just awesome
show u some of his works.

this one is just a skull,but he used arnd 12million worth of diamonds to create this,and it was sold for 50million pounds.


heres a preserved shark using a poisonous fluid called formaldehyde to preserve it


erm,a neatly dissected sheep



this is titled "Mother and Child"
it shows two cows,one is the mother and the other is the calf
yep,and they are being seperated after death
theres much more to it though,go read up :p


heres a dead cow with many arrows shot into it..


ooo let me explain how this works,
you see that white box on the right? its filled with houseflies and maggots and eggs
so when the maggots turn into flies,they will fly through that hole in the centre,and feed on the cow's head which is on the left..
and after they eat,they fly up to the insect bzzt thingy lol and die..
so the cycle just continues,cool eh



anyway,he is a freak,but i think hes damn cool


oh had SOVA test,all of us were spotting that Mondrian/kadinsky will come out,but
what came out was BRANCUSI and CHUCK CLOSE
what the hell!! it came out for promos so we tot wont repeat,damn
i think damien hirst can just add us to his collection..
