Damien Hirst Sculpture at St Bartholomew the Great
Damien Hirst's golden bronze sculpture 'Saint Bartholomew, Exquisite Pain' is displayed within the historic, vaulted interior of St Bartholomew the Great church. These photographs capture the anatomical ecorché figure, which features intricate flayed muscles and the saint holding his own skin alongside a scalpel or surgical scissors. The contemporary artwork creates a sharp contrast against the ancient stone arches and church sanctuary.
