Inkjet print in colours, glaze and foilblock - Signed and numbered on the front // Damien Hirst's Black Utopia is a limited edition inkjet print from 2012, measuring 69.2 x 55.5 cm. The artwork features rows of black, glossy pills, placed neatly across shelves, each reflecting light and giving off a sleek, almost futuristic vibe. This work highlights Hirst’s ongoing exploration of pharmaceuticals, mortality, and consumer culture. The clinical arrangement of the pills combined with the dark, reflective surfaces evokes a sense of both order and detachment, blurring the line between medicine as a life-saving tool and as a commodified object. The use of foil block and glaze adds texture and depth to the image, enhancing the sense of precision and control. The title, Black Utopia, may allude to a dystopian vision of a world where medicine and science dominate, raising questions about dependency and the cost of modern advancements.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
