Dimensions: 875 x 700mm (39 x 29 inches) - (87,5 x 70,00cm) Silkscreen print with glaze Edition of 250 Signed and numbered Published by Other CriteriaIn 2009, Damien Hirst was invited by Disney to create an artwork inspired by Mickey Mouse in his own unique artistic language. A playful reinterpretation of the artist’s own signature spot paintings, with its elemental composition and bold colors, Mickey stands as the culmination of the artist’s seminal series which he has pursued continually since 1986. Inspired by the most famous cartoon character of all time, Mickey is an outstanding representation of Damien Hirst’s innovative artistic vision - engraining his own instantly recognisable painterly language into the canon of art history. Mickey represents a significant addition to this rich artistic tradition. The boldly graphic visual presentation of Mickey in Hirst’s iconic spots offers a geometric distillation of the quintessential profile of the famous mouse, representing the artist’s engagement in Pop Culture and traditional themes of academic art.“The thing about Mickey is that even though he’s gone through so many shifts in form and association, he’s timeless. In a way, he means the same in the 21st Century as he did decades ago. I watched the cartoons as a kid, and my kids watched them too. He’s relevant because he’s remained so culturally ingrained and he still looks so great. The way children are entertained today has obviously changed dramatically, but kids are still kids, and love the same things.” (D. Hirst, quoted in interview, December 2013)
