We are proud to present ‘Between Love and Death’, an extraordinary exhibition that delves into the enigmatic worlds of Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst, two renowned contemporary artists and prominent figures within the Young British Artists (YBA) movement.

Emin’s vibrant and deeply personal works lay bare her tumultuous journey through life. Her raw and unfiltered artworks invite viewers into her emotional realm, filled with moments of vulnerability, love, and self-reflection. Meanwhile, Hirst unveils his unrelenting fascination with mortality, shedding light on the fragility and impermanence of human existence with his artworks that force us to confront our notions of life and death.

The style, media, and aesthetics of Emin and Hirst’s work are entirely distinct, but both create with fearless audacity, employing shock tactics, pushing boundaries, and challenging conventional norms. Together, Emin and Hirst provoke and provide a captivating dialogue on the human condition. This exhibition brings together a collection of their most iconic and thought-provoking works, revealing the intimate connection between their artistic visions: the shared exploration of profound human experiences.
