Damien Hirst frequently employs butterflies in his work, often using the insect’s diaphanous wings like mosaic tiles in kaleidoscopic arrangements. This butterfly print, I Love You-red, oriental gold, cool gold is rendered in glossy detail, and appears on its luminous heart-shaped background like an encased species in an enthusiast's collection. Like many of Hirst’s provocative pieces, while formally beautiful, the work also evokes macabre feelings, allowing the viewer to face a composite of life, death, and beauty.
