Isocytosine (2007) is a captivating print from Damien Hirst’s iconic Spot Paintings series, where scientific nomenclature meets minimalist design. Named after a synthetic nucleic acid base, the work presents a grid of multicolored dots, evenly spaced and executed with precision. The uniformity is interrupted only by the vibrancy of the palette, evoking both the order of pharmaceutical systems and the unpredictability of life. Isocytosine reflects Hirst’s fascination with medicine, repetition, and the aesthetics of science—making it a cerebral yet visually arresting piece for collectors of contemporary and conceptual art.
