Damien Hirst: New Religion

DAMIEN HIRST

The work of Damien Hirst is exhibited for the first time in Macedonia on the 22th of June 2016.

One of the most prominent contemporary artists in the world exhibits 44 graphic works and four sculptures. His works examine the eternal themes such as life, religion, death and faith. These are the main subjects of interest of the artist through which he emphasizes the complex correlation between medicine and religion as well as the one between art and religion.

The exhibition travelled so far in galleries in London, Oslo, Moscow, Venice, Sofia, and Gdansk. The exhibiting of his works in Skopje was inspired by the 20th anniversary of the British Council’s activity in Macedonia and came to realization due to the collaboration between the Paul Stolper Gallery and the Museum of Contemporary Art – Skopje.
