This weird and wonderful art genius now takes pride of place in my head amongst the Best of British! Side by side with my man McQueen, Hirst is an Icon, a sculptural freak and a majestic visionary. Yes that's how i will describe him.
Ever sat next to a pregnant lady on the bus and thought.... " Hmm i wonder how you and your unborn bubba would look like right now if you were both sliced in half?" or "How much d'ya reckon George Michael or Beckham would bid to pay for the skull of a random to be caked in Diamonds?" OR (my personal favourite..)
"What would a baby calf look like if i paint its tootsies in Gold and bathed him in a tub of FORMALDEHYDE?" .. A sight I could not take my eyes off for some time... You can see it's little nose hairs swaying in the liquid!
Further to the point.... Where did he get so much Formaldehyde???
I Love him, i love how he's BFF is Keith Allen and i would love to see more of his stuff. He made the POPLIFE exhibit at Tatey Mod much more exciting!!
Although the dead horse there was also quite a treat!
"False Idol" (wikipedia the meaning of false idol, the man's a legend!)
