1965 Bristol, United Kingdom

Damien Hirst was born in 1965 in Bristol (UK) and he grew up in Leeds. At the age of nineteen, he moved to London, where he worked in construction before studying for a BA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths college. Already during his second year of college, he conceived and curated a group exhibition, which was entitled ‘Freeze'. This exhibition was acknowledged to have been the launching point for Hirst, but especially for a generation of British artists.                                                                                                                                                                             Since the beginning of his career, around the late 1980s, Hirst has used a varied practice of installation, sculpture, painting and drawing to explore the complex relationship between art, life and death, showing his conception about the fact that art is about life, because there is not anything else. Through his work, he investigates and challenges contemporary belief systems, and dissects the uncertainties at the heart of human experience.
