Catalogue Note
"I have friends who make sculptures and I always encourage them to do paintings. Paintings are great, I like how by turning 90 degrees it becomes a line and disappears. There is a certain amount of illusion in painting. I am very pleased with the painting with the roses and butterflies, I think something happens to the image that gels it all together." Damien Hirst
