Meaning & Analysis
Pressure is a silkscreen print by renowned contemporary artist, Damien Hirst. The print, which was made in 2017, shows the packaging of a fictional pharmaceutical product. The product name, ‘Pressure’, is written in a simple black font at the top of the composition. Below the product name, Hirst includes various medical details, such as the tablet size, its contents, and instructions on how it should be taken. Hirst deliberately includes this medical information to make the packaging seem like a real pharmaceutical product, despite its fictional name. While the simple packaging seems like many other tablet packets, the unconventional name stands out, hinting to the creative input of the artist.
Pressure is one of twelve silkscreen prints that compose the Eat the Rich series. The series is inspired by pharmaceutical packaging and in each print, Hirst adopts the tablet packet format to create a fictional pharmaceutical product. In this series, Hirst blurs the boundaries between science and art and by including his name on each print in the series, Hirst assumes the role of pharmacist, continuing to challenge the science/ art dichotomy. The product name, ‘Pressure’, carries connotations of violence, force and aggression. This is a theme that runs through the entire series.
In this print, Hirst’s long-standing fascination with the aesthetics of pharmaceutical packaging shines through. The minimalism of the design reflects the confidence with which pharmaceutical companies present their medications and their healing abilities.

My experience as a first time seller with MyArtBroker was nothing short of brilliant! I have to admit to being very apprehensive and nervous, had no idea what to expect and a head full of questions. Little did I know I had nothing to worry about. I was expertly guided through the whole process by the wonderful Celine who, as expected is knowledgable and prof...

I’m so grateful for how easy Celine at My Art Broker made selling my first piece. I’ll be honest, I was really nervous handing over something of such high value, but was reassured every step of the way. A price was agreed early on, and was stuck to. The seller paid for all shipping and restoration fees. I didn’t know what to expect with timescales so had so...

I found the whole experience to be completely stress free and painless. Pleasingly this is the first time I have made a sale and not incurred any fees or charges. The price agreed...
