Till Death Do Us Part strips the memento mori down to its essence—a human skull—then hits it with color that refuses to fade. This edition, featuring a vivid metallic green skull against a dusty pink backdrop, is equal parts confrontation and celebration. Pulled from Damien Hirst’s 2012 screenprint series, the work echoes his ongoing fascination with death, beauty, and repetition—placing the ultimate symbol of impermanence in bold, graphic dialogue with Pop Art. It’s classic Hirst: direct, iconic, and a little bit dangerous.
About The Artist
Damien Hirst (b. 1965) has built a career on confronting the big questions—life, death, beauty, and value—and nowhere is that more distilled than in his skull series. From the infamous For the Love of God, a platinum cast encrusted with over 8,000 diamonds, to his vivid Dead prints and kinetic spin skulls, Hirst reimagines the memento mori with pop art audacity and market-savvy flash. His skulls are more than symbols—they’re provocations, reminders that mortality can be both terrifying and glittering. At Mania, we spotlight this facet of Hirst’s work: visceral, iconic, and permanently etched into the cultural subconscious.
