I am an architect and need a lot of that to get my concepts done. The real issue is the actual value of ideas and the use of illegal schemes to overrate the work like buying his own work at the auction to raise up the value of the work. Overrated yes. Genius is rather debatable. I do not think we will be discussing Hirst work 400 years from now as we do with Michellangelo's "stiff" work.  Hirst is just a result of the era we live in flodded with media lacking substance.

Also, it is extremely work-intensive and precise. The problem with saying "I could do that, what's so special about it!?"(as with a Pollock for example), is that - maybe you could have done it but - YOU DIDN'T. The powerful thing about 20th and 21st century art is that it honors the "POWER OF IDEAS." Art can embody and/or point to deeper concepts and feelings in the audience. In the past, you had to be a skilled painter/drawer/sculptor to attract any accolades. Now, while many of these artists are truly skilled, they are no longer restricted by the tired old traditions and standards of the past that really stifled and restricted creative expression. If you have a creative, poetic perspective, you will find beauty and meaning in Hirst's work. It starkly and poignantly communicates some of the big issues we are dealing with in the world today; the complex relationship between the shrinking outdoors and the growing indoors and the effects of that on the natural environment, the effects of the "quick-fix society" on the collective psyche, etc. He takes these issues and presents them in a way that is simple and quiet (zen), and also painful and uneasy. No great revolutionary artist of the past was met without some criticism and without making many uncomfortable and uneasy with their work. His work is beautifully executed and brilliant.
