In Pictures: Damien Hirst paints a picture with new show
Provocative artist Damien Hirst has unveiled 46 new paintings that develop and expand on his spot paintings.
His new works, which also include 15 large bronze sculptures, are on show at the State Rooms in lavish mansion Houghton Hall, in Norfolk.
The series of new paintings, entitled Colour Space, have never been shown in public before.
Hirst is perhaps most well-known for his shark preserved in formaldehyde as well as his diamond-encrusted skull and rotting cow’s head.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
