Damien Hirst (b 1965) is a British artist, art collector and entrepreneur. One of the best known works by Hirst is The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (1991), which is basically a dead tiger shark, which is preserved in a tank filled with formaldehyde. Just like Andy Warhol, Hirst is interested in death, it is one of the main themes in his art. Hirst used hundreds of cigarette butts and ash in the medical display cabinet in his 2008 artwork The Abyss. In the current artwork there is a massive contrast between blooming flowers full of life and “dead” cigarette butts, which won´t decompose in nature. Flowers will come again and blossom, cigarettes won’t.
