watching this in retro, and taking into account his latest works, he has definitely stood the test of time, with some seriously huge projects, I'd say he's like, half artist, half highwayman, the amount of money he has prized from the hands of the upper classes speaks for itself, I think it's a very impressive contribution to the art world, some folks will just never get it, I suppose.

He’s a fucking joke mate

[@pommebanane9786]

I understand all his thoughts of "why he became an artist" and "why did he created all these works". I also like the comment "the world is complicated so as an artist you're going to present it in a complicated way" so he is, to me, a great example of shocking artist in our society.

[@allandavies1642]

Loved the comment: "He's given up being a cleaner now.." "he got a job as an art critic." " I love all that confusion..."

[@bangersandmashism]

my favourite part is when the interviewer asks him what he wished he had as an artist and he explains how the idea of painting is really desireable and explains that you actually have to put a bit of effort into becoming a painter

[@BucketOfMarbles]

"All great art is a map of a man's life"

[@TheTerminalExpress]

Any statement that starts with the words "all art is..." will come up short and fail.

[@muthomingeranwaart5210]

When anyone makes money out of a simple idea hordes of people get extremely freakly jealous

[@sitluxetluxfuit4481]

Wow I just realized Hurst says the same thing in every interview even years apart.

[@Captaiesqueleto]

10:58 but as an artist we should be like Vincent van Gogh he was a great artist and still influences many artists today

[@anoshya]

At least he did it on his own..not born into an artistic dynasty...

[@stewartmac9568]

[@viciouscircle7802]

hirst what a character, and so funny 😂

[@alfaV6boy1]

Always torn with Hirst, he is the Ed Sheeran of the Art world, which I guess to some that's a compliment, to others its a criticism, so I'll leave it as that.

[@ArtHistoryProfessor]

Whether you like legendary YBA Damien Hirst (b. 1965) or not (and I do)-his boldly creative imprimatura on contemporary art has been monumental since the late 1980s. His work is often viewed as being overtly morbid and obsessively fixated with ideas that solely revolve around death and decay. In actuality, nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, his work examines many of the starker perils and pitfalls of our existence as human beings-chief amongst those are our ongoing compulsive addictions-albeit to prescription drugs and/or the decadent excesses of our insatiable desire to want more of everything. Thus, simply put, Damien Hirst reminds us-via his use of adroitly conceptual dialogue-that life and death are, in fact, an inextricably convergent tapestry of sorts. Therefore, through his signature use of controversial objects, e.g., the severed cadavers of dead animals and preserved insects, he forcibly compels us to accept these universal truths that lie at the foundational core of this symbiotic relationship.

How did this interviewer get this job?!

[@bangersandmashism]

why did you do the shark, 'i guess I watched jaws or something'. worlds most successful money launderer

[@tsukiyami6162]

18:25 strangely enough I did have a teacher say that we'd die.

[@LorraineIwakashdan]

I love his lack of pretentiousness. A lot of what he says is actually quite profound but said in the least profound way possible. He's an artist - not a performer or storyteller. It's clear from his art, what he says and how he says it that the messages are all there in his art and he needs that forum to express his point!

[@hm4654]

He’s a fucking joke mate

[@MusicFloto]

It's always good fun seeing Damien Worst making a tit of himself as he tries in vain to string a coherent sentence together

[@liamarunbennett8282]

art garden love, exactly

[@vanseit]

What a boring man this super star of modern art is.

[@timothyhill1149]

in court he could have quoted sol lewitt

[@journeyofaconfusedartist]

I have heard some interesting stories of you but will not say yet

[@FF-so3su]

When people "that's not art" I think they are trying to say; "that's not a traditional painting". Just like what you like. I think ginger haired females are beautiful, if someone pointed at one and said "that's not a brunette" that should not change my thinking that the ginger woman is beautiful.

[@notdrivingaminimetro]

most conceptual artists can't

[@FloralShoppingCard]

oh he does! He makes for years "fact paintings" which are hyper realistic paintings. He does them himself.

[@remotefaith]

@@FloralShoppingCard No he doesn't.

[@FloralShoppingCard]

@@remotefaith lol.

[@dylanphillips9659]

Got no fans

[@gino31mont]

Damien is a con artist and talks nothing but dribble. Men like him give the game a bad name.

[@journeyofaconfusedartist]

So much contradiction to him today.
