we just can’t get enough of english artist damien hirst. first he takes our breath away with his kaleidoscope series and now this! his new series entitled entomology paintings is almost too beautiful for words, with each piece made by placing hundreds of different beetle and insect species into gloss paint and then arranging them in intricate geometric patterns and designs. what’s more, the entomology paintings are actually named after phases and characters in dante alighieri’s vision of the afterlife, the divine comedy. we don’t know about you but we could stare at these for days!
