Damien Hirst’s H13-9, Colliding (2024) captures the raw drama of the sea in a striking monochrome composition. A massive wave crashes forward, its foamy spray suspended mid-motion, frozen in luminous detail against a dark, brooding backdrop. The grayscale palette intensifies the work’s sense of power and inevitability, transforming the ocean into both subject and metaphor. Here, Hirst channels the sublime tradition of seascape painting, evoking awe, danger, and the uncontrollable forces of nature. The title, Colliding, underscores the tension at play - between light and dark, motion and stillness, destruction and renewal. A departure from his color-saturated “Where the Land Meets the Sea,” this work demonstrates Hirst’s versatility and his continued fascination with beauty, transience, and the monumental forces that shape our world.
