Damien Hirst’s H13-4, Studland Bay (2024) is an exuberant explosion of color and texture, a dense field of dripping, flicked, and layered paint that suggests both the vibrancy of wild blossoms and the restless motion of the sea. Against a gray ground, bursts of pink, yellow, green, and blue cascade across the canvas, merging into a surface that is at once chaotic and luminous. The composition recalls the experience of standing before a flowering meadow or shoreline in bloom, where beauty feels overwhelming, fleeting, and infinite all at once. Anchored by its title to the Dorset coast, Studland Bay extends Hirst’s “Where the Land Meets the Sea" series, translating the vitality of nature into a monumental gesture of abstraction. Here, paint itself becomes both subject and metaphor - an affirmation of life, impermanence, and the intoxicating force of beauty.
