Etching in colors, on Hahnemüle etching paper. Signed in pencil and numbered. Published by Paragon Press, London Image: 69.75 x 34 in. (177 x 86 cm.) Sheet: 80 x 43 in. (203 x 109 cm.) Methamphetamine (2004) by Damien Hirst is a color etching from his iconic Pharmaceutical series. Composed of neatly arranged, brightly colored dots on a stark white background, the print evokes both the orderliness and abstraction of medical systems. Each dot is unique in hue, yet uniformly sized and spaced, creating a visual rhythm reminiscent of pill catalogues or molecular diagrams. The title links the work to the world of synthetic drugs, a recurring theme in Hirst’s critique of modern medicine, consumerism, and mortality. The minimal composition masks deeper questions about dependency, science, and the illusion of control.

Who are the Young British Artists - YBA

Young British Artists (YBAs), also known as Britart or Brit artists, refers to a group of artists who began exhibiting together in London in 1988. Most of them graduated from the BA Fine Arts course at Goldsmiths in the late 1980s. The YBAs are known for their wild lifestyles, use of unconventional materials, and a combination of entrepreneurial and oppositional attitudes. They dominated the British art scene in the 1990s and gained significant media attention. Many of these artists were initially supported and collected by Charles Saatchi, a key figure in their rise to prominence.
