‘Hell’ a screenprint with foil block shows rows of stubbed-out cigarette ends and a single Cuban cigar. These objects embody the contradiction between desire, pleasure and death. The ashes recall a graveyard and the cigarette stubs create a ‘feeling of arid post-humanity in the most expansive way’ Brian Dillon, Ugly Feelings in Damien Hirst, Tate 2012, pg 27. The cigarettes, now expired, are an image of dystopia and a reminder of mortality. Exhibition History: 'Utopia' 2012, at Paul Stolper Gallery, London
