Meaning & Analysis
Published in an edition of 100, Quene 1-am is a print from 2004 by Damien Hirst. The print shows nine perfect circles in a square grid, each circle rendered in a different colour. Hirst has produced many prints like this one, which can be grouped into a series of works titled the Spots paintings, of which there are over 1,400 works on canvas.
The cold repetition and sterile aesthetic of the Spots works are reminiscent of Hirst’s early pill cabinet works such as The Void from 2000. Both evoke a sense of endless sameness and directly allude to the realms of medicine and science. Each series of the Spots paintings are associated with a specific drug group. The drug and chemical titles of each print suggest a nondescript powder or pill that is abstract in its scientific mode.
It is only in the later stages of Hirst’s career that he has become interested in prints and editions. His first print portfolio was produced in 1999 and were a set of screen prints that depicted medicine bottle labels. Since his first print portfolio, Hirst has produced many prints and editions like those in the Spots series and are a major part of his oeuvre.
