Damien Hirst’s Civilisation Rising, H17-1 (2024) is a dazzling vision of contemporary life where nature and architecture collide in an explosion of color and rhythm. A dense cluster of modern high-rise buildings, rendered in geometric blocks of red, blue, and yellow, emerges like a mosaic of human progress. Surrounding this constructed world, fields of cherry blossoms and tulips burst forth, their exuberant hues and spontaneous splatters overlaying the rigid lines of urban life. The result is a meditation on the coexistence of culture and nature, order and chaos, permanence and transience. With its kaleidoscopic energy, Civilisation Rising feels both celebratory and questioning - an ode to humanity’s creations and a reminder of the untameable beauty that persists beyond them.
