Meaning & Analysis
Oh My God And For Those Really Stubborn Stains is one of 23 etchings that make up the first volume of Damien Hirst’s In A Spin, The Action Of The World Upon Things from 2002. The print shows a series of concentric circles that go beyond the edge of the composition, embellished with what appears to be a splash of red paint that follows the circular lines.
Abstraction has been a key part of Hirst’s oeuvre since the mid-1990s. This series of prints is related to Hirst’s spin paintings that have become an iconic set of abstract works. These paintings were created with a rotating canvas attached to a spin machine, onto which he poured paint. Oh My God And For Those Really Stubborn Stains is produced with copper plates attached to the spin machine, with the concentric circular lines drawn with needles, screwdrivers, and other sharp tools as they spun.
It is only in the later stages of Hirst’s career that he has become interested in prints and editions. His first print portfolio was produced in 1999 and was a set of screen prints that depicted medicine bottle labels. Since his first print portfolio, Hirst has ventured into the technique of etching like the prints in the In A Spin, The Action Of The World Upon Things Vol. I and II.
