Why It Matters
Each Psalm print marries a butterfly kaleidoscope to a line of sacred scripture, giving Hirst's decorative symmetry a devotional charge. Judica sits within that framework, using the butterfly's Christian association with resurrection to bridge the ornamental and the spiritual, a recurring tension across Hirst's career.
Collector Perspective
The 25-print edition places this among Hirst's scarcer butterfly works. The non-glitter glazed treatment appeals to collectors who prefer a cleaner surface, while the square format suits salon-style grouping with other Psalms. Small edition size and series appeal drive collector interest.
Historical Context
The Kaleidoscope paintings began in 2001, inspired in part by a Victorian tea tray Hirst found, and reference stained-glass symmetry. Hirst's butterfly work dates to 1989. The Psalm series channels both threads into a body of prints titled after individual psalms.
