Where the Land Meets the Sea

Damien Hirst

£45.00

Where the Land Meets the Sea is a large-format hardback catalogue, initially created to accompany the 2023 eponymous exhibition by Damien Hirst at Phillips gallery, London.

The collection comprises three series of large-scale oil paintings – 'Coast Paintings', 'Sea Paintings' and 'Seascapes'. Influenced by Abstract Expressionism, specifically Robert Motherwell’s ‘Beside the Sea’ paintings from the 1960s, as well as drawing on a personal, lifelong pastime of walking along beaches during UK winters, having holidayed as a child in coastal destinations like Scarborough, Filey, Whitby and Skegness, Hirst’s works reveal an unerring captivation with the sea and its connections with awe, inevitability and nothingness.

The exhibition catalogue features full-colour reproductions of the complete works, complemented by thoughtful texts from British writer and curator David Campany, and British art critic James Cahill.

Hirst’s exhibition at Phillips London, held from 20 July to 18 August 2023, was presented by HENI with the support of the artist’s galleries Gagosian and White Cube, and coincided with an application-based release of the artworks on HENI Primary.
