Framed Proctolin, Spot Print
Proctolin is an instantly-recognisable and highly-covetable spot painting from notorious British artist and YBA, Damien Hirst.
This piece is from Hirst’s pharmaceutical range of spot paintings, which was the very first time he played with colour in this way, and was when he bid goodbye to any problems he had previously had working with colour.
Hirst states: ‘Mathematically, with the spot works, I probably discovered the most fundamentally important thing in any kind of art. Which is the harmony of where colour can exist on its own, interacting with colours in a perfect format.’
Proctolin is a silkscreen print with diamond dust on Somerset Satin. From a limited edition of 150, the piece comes framed in a white box frame, signed and numbered by Hirst.

About the artist
British art phenomenon Damien Hirst shot to fame after winning the Turner Prize in 1995. One of the YBAs (Young British Artists), who dominated the UK art scene during the 1990s, Hirst has always been contentious, impressing and shocking the art world in equal measure with his provocative approach.
His varied work explores the complex threads of relation between art, religion, science, life and death. Hirst works across diverse media, creating sculpture, installation, painting and prints. From diamond encrusted skulls to giant pills, colourful spot paintings to the life-and-death of butterflies, Hirst’s work might divide opinion, but one thing remains a constant: every piece is unforgettable.
In his own words: “Great art or good art, is when you look at it, experience it and it stays in your mind. I don’t think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different.”
