  • Omelette

    "The result is both humorous and disquieting, a minimalist provocation that invites questions about the role of branding, ritual, and mass production in contemporary life."

    Damien Hirst, Omelette (1999–2000) is a playful yet unsettling work from his provocative Last Supper series. Rendered as a silkscreen print in a style that mimics pharmaceutical design, this piece exemplifies Hirst’s fascination with the aesthetics of consumption, replacing religious or visual iconography with text-only declarations of familiar, everyday meals.

    In Omelette, the simplicity of the title belies the layered commentary at work. By presenting the name of a comforting dish as though it were a commercial medication, Hirst blurs the boundaries between nourishment and treatment, desire and dependency. The result is both humorous and disquieting, a minimalist provocation that invites questions about the role of branding, ritual, and mass production in contemporary life.

    Printed in an edition of 150, Omelette is part of one of Damien Hirst’s most conceptually cohesive and critically discussed series. For collectors seeking a work that distils Hirst’s sharp cultural critique into a clean, striking format, this edition offers both visual impact and intellectual depth.
