Famous artist finds inspiration in garden shed

17:11:20 16th November 2009

World-renowned modern artist Damien Hirst has revealed that he regularly uses his garden shed as a studio for his painting.

Speaking to the Guardian´s Simon Hattenstone he said that he spent the best part of two years alone in a garden shed in Devon painting a new collection of works.

Shortcut to Diamond Barton Summer Building The paintings, most of which have never been seen outside the confines of Hirst´s shed, feature in a new exhibition of his work at the prestigious Wallace Collection in London.

Although the gallery is well-known for its collection of Renaissance, Classical and Baroque art, Hirst´s contemporary exhibition of ´blue paintings´ pay homage to the solitary environment in which the artist works.

Damien Hirst is not the first artist to be inspired by a shed, with Cornelia Parker´s famous 1991 work Cold Dark Matter consisting of pieces of an exploded shed and its contents suspended in the air.
