Meaning & Analysis
Ala-Met is a woodcut print from Damien Hirst’s 40 Woodcut Spots series from 2011. Released in a limited edition of 55, the print shows various coloured spots arranged methodically into five rows of four. Each spot is a different colour and every print in the series represents a unique set of colour combinations.
The 40 Woodcut Spots series is reminiscent of Hirst’s vast series of spot paintings, of which there are over 1000 in existence, dating from 1988 to 2011. The spots represent abstraction reduced to its most basic mechanisms: colour, form and composition. The grid formula for these paintings is the basis for an unbounded series where Hirst can infinitely explore harmonious and contrasting colour combinations.
The titles, based on the names of chemical compounds, are also abstract in their lack of signification of something tangible in the world. Rather the chemical name evokes a nondescript powder or pill and there is an incessant endlessness to the series. The circles are printed in flat, block hues and no colour is repeated twice on the same canvas. Hirst in 2000 remarked on the impact of an installation of multiple spot paintings, “it’s an assault on your senses. They grab hold of you and give you a good shaking. As adults, we’re not used to it. It’s an amazing fact that all objects leap beyond their own dimension.”
