These huge prints were created in Coriander Studio, London and are unnumbered with no set order (Hirst’s brilliance in contrasting the regimented, pharmaceutical nature of the work with the ironic unordered series). Beans and Chips, like the other works in the series, toys with the idea of humanity, food and the nature of science. In Beans and Chips Hirst has taken inspiration from childhood favourite meals and derived the imagery from medical drug packaging. Nutrition and superficiality intersperse to dramatic and comedic effect as the artist brilliantly causes us to question the nature of what we value as a society and as a people.
