Following his monumental Veil Paintings in 2017, British artist Damien Hirst created Paper Veils — a series of 300 striking paintings on card completed in 2019 and released on HENI Primary.

The enveloping, meditative compositions recall the vibrancy of his Visual Candy series (1993–95), drawing influence from Pointillism as well as the compositions and rapturous colour of Pierre Bonnard. Thick, clustered and colourful brushstrokes are organised into constellations that form seemingly infinite layers, which, like a veil, both reveal and obscure.

This limited-edition publication of 1,000 books, all hand numbered and signed by the Artist, presents the complete Paper Veils series in a beautifully produced, large-format hardback. Printed in full colour and bound with exposed multicoloured thread, the book is housed in a striking printed acrylic glass slipcase. It features an essay by London-based art critic and curator Sacha Craddock as well as a full visual index and list of works. text from HENI.
