New limited edition rainbow prints by leading British artist Damien Hirst are released today to support NHS Charities Together and London-based charity The Felix Project during the COVID-19 crisis. ⁠

The works are digitally made up of bands of photographed coloured butterfly wings — one of the artist’s best-known motifs.⁠⠀

@damienhirst said: “I wanted to do something to support the many people who are risking their lives to help those in need during this time of crisis. The rainbow is a sign of hope and I’m so pleased to release these prints to help fund the brilliant work being done by NHS staff across the country, and to raise money for The Felix Project, who are ensuring food is delivered across London to those who need it the most.”⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
