Hirst's spot paintings have always been the prêt-a-porter range within his prolific output; compared to bisected cows and pickled sharks they've never generated much controversy, but that was always the point. They look good in a museum or in a collector's living room, they look a bit like modern art and they look a bit like interior decoration too. And what they offer, aesthetically and intellectually, is a playful sense of indifference; that nothing should matter too much other than the pursuit of a light, intoxicated sense of sensual pleasure in the experience of colour. They're paintings that demand distraction, not attention. (JJC)

Over 300 uninspiring canvases with dots on. Rather silly. Why would anyone waste their time looking at that? Art will tear us ap..
