Damien Hirst’s H13-2, Kingsdown Beach (2024) immerses the viewer in a lush, all-over field of color that vibrates with the energy of spring in full bloom. Layers of flicked and daubed paint create a dense surface alive with movement - greens, pinks, blues, and bursts of red intertwine in a shimmering, almost kaleidoscopic effect. While abstract in form, the work evokes the sensation of standing before a flowering landscape or gazing at nature in ecstatic abundance. The title, Kingsdown Beach, anchors the composition in a place of shoreline calm, juxtaposing the serenity of a coastal setting with the exuberant, almost overwhelming vitality of the canvas. Continuing Hirst’s Where the Land Meets the Sea series, the painting transforms natural ephemerality into permanence, fusing beauty, chaos, and meditation into a single monumental gesture.
