Great art – or good art – is when you look at it, experience it and it stays in your mind. I dont think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different. – Damien Hirst
I always feel like the arts there and I just see it, so its not really a lot of work. – Damien Hirst
I was taught to confront things you cant avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where youre trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers dont last for ever makes them beautiful. – Damien Hirst
The difference between art about death and actual death is that ones a celebration and the others a dull fact. – Damien Hirst
