Damien Hirst dominated the British art scene during the 1990s, and is now internationally renowned in the prominent group, 'The Young British Artists'. Hirst has a wide range of practices, including installations, sculpture, paintings and drawing. With each piece he is inventive and challenging, and the above works are no exception.
The iconic 'The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (1991) explores ideas behind the meaning of life and the fragility of existence, which is represented through the window boxes that objectify the shark.
These pieces have energy and interesting thoughts that shape their meaning, which is why so many are drawn to Hirst's pieces.
