*APC ART is pleased to present "Beautiful Flower Diamond Spin Painting (TT3-2)," an extraordinary collaboration between Damien Hirst and Shepard Fairey that brings together two of the most influential artistic voices of the past half century. Published by HENI, London in 2025 on the occasion of *Triple Trouble* at Newport Street Gallery, this monumental work measures an impressive 103 x 103 cm (40.6 x 40.6 in.) and is executed as a museum-quality giclée print in colors. Hand signed by both Damien Hirst and Shepard Fairey in graphite pencil from the worldwide edition of only 250 examples, this is one of the most important collaborative editions released by either artist in recent years.*
*Few artists have shaped contemporary art as profoundly as Damien Hirst. Rising to prominence in the late 1980s as the leading figure of the Young British Artists (YBAs), Hirst forever altered the landscape of contemporary art through his fearless exploration of life, death, science, medicine and belief. His Spot Paintings, Spin Paintings, Butterfly Paintings and Natural History series have become modern icons, while landmark exhibitions at Tate Modern, the Venice Biennale, Gagosian, Fondation Cartier and countless museums around the world have firmly established him as one of the defining artists of his generation. His works reside in virtually every major contemporary art collection, while his market has remained among the strongest of any living contemporary artist for more than three decades.*
*Shepard Fairey's journey has been equally remarkable. Emerging from the skateboarding and street art culture of the late 1980s through his legendary OBEY campaign, Fairey helped transform street art into a globally recognized fine art movement. His instantly recognizable imagery, rooted in graphic design, political commentary and social activism, has become part of contemporary visual culture itself. His monumental murals span every continent, while his work is represented in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, LACMA, the Victoria & Albert Museum and many of the world's most respected institutions. His editions have developed an extraordinarily loyal international collector base, with major releases routinely selling out within minutes before quickly disappearing into established private collections.*
*The meeting of these two artists is far more significant than a simple collaboration. It represents the convergence of two completely different, yet remarkably complementary, artistic philosophies. Hirst's celebrated Spin Paintings embrace movement, spontaneity and chance, while Fairey's meticulously constructed mandalas represent harmony, order, symmetry and spiritual balance. Together they create a visual dialogue between chaos and control, instinct and precision, movement and meditation.*
*Beautiful Flower Diamond Spin Painting (TT3-2) radiates an entirely different energy from the other works within the Hope Paintings series. Here, Hirst's explosive spin painting bursts outward in brilliant shades of cobalt blue, turquoise, crimson, golden yellow and emerald green, creating a composition filled with optimism and movement. Rather than dominating the surface, Fairey's intricate floral mandala appears to bloom organically from the center of the painting, its geometric structure echoing both sacred geometry and botanical forms. The metallic detailing dances across the vibrant background, revealing remarkable depth and changing character throughout the day as natural and artificial light interact with the surface. The result is simultaneously uplifting, meditative and visually exhilarating. At over forty inches square, the work possesses an undeniable physical presence and immediately becomes the focal point of any room in which it is displayed.*
*The Hope Paintings series consists of only four collaborative editions, each derived directly from new paintings created for *Triple Trouble*, the critically acclaimed exhibition held at Newport Street Gallery in London from October 10, 2025 through March 29, 2026. Rather than reproducing existing imagery, these editions document an authentic artistic collaboration between two internationally celebrated artists working together at the height of their careers. Collaborations of this caliber are exceptionally rare and often become defining moments within both artists' careers.*
*Jointly signed editions by Damien Hirst and Shepard Fairey are exceptionally scarce. Combined with a worldwide edition of only 250 examples, publication by HENI and direct association with one of London's most celebrated contemporary exhibitions, this work represents an extraordinary opportunity for collectors seeking an historically significant contemporary edition. It is precisely the type of work that appeals equally to long-time Hirst collectors, dedicated Fairey collectors and those assembling museum-quality contemporary collections. As examples continue finding permanent homes around the world, opportunities to acquire these editions on the secondary market are expected to become increasingly limited.*
