Why I Hate Damien Hirst

Why I Hate Damien Hirst

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate him as a person, I just don't like his art. Damien Hirst is a very talented artist, but  honestly I am not impressed by his works. For Damien Hirst fans, I am entitled to my opinion. He is very well known in the art world and his art sells for millions of dollars. Some of his works include authentic cow heads covered with flys and maggots encased in a glass box, and a dead great white shark entombed in a glass case. Perhaps it is impressive to those who have lived their entire lives without seeing death or carcasses of animals being devoured by maggots. I"ve already seen this many times and it doesn't impress me. In his defense, one day while visiting an art museum,  my mother was hypnotized by the beauty of Hirt's impressive large stainless steel medicine cabinet with  surgical tools, and my mother is no fan of art, but he was able to impress her, a heathen of art.

Forget about the glorious commentaries from art critics and the fact that he, Damien Hirst, is laughing to the bank after each sale. What do you honestly think of his work?
