The Coast Paintings series takes inspiration from British seaside locations, where Hirst's abstract action paintings originated as grey canvases in his studio. As he worked on his acclaimed Cherry Blossoms series, the splatters of paint intended for the blossoms found their way onto these canvases, capturing the beauty of chance color combinations. In the Sea Paintings, Hirst freezes the power and energy of coastal storms in greyscale, while the Seascapes series adds additional layers of action through splattered paint, building upon photorealistic scenes from the Sea Paintings.

Hirst drew influence from Abstract Expressionism, particularly Robert Motherwell's Beside the Sea paintings series from the 1960s, for these three series. Additionally, his lifelong connection to the sea and his love for walking on the beach and observing the sea during the winter months influenced the creation of these works. Experience the profound visual and emotional impact of Hirst's exploration of the land-sea relationship in the exhibition Where the Land Meets the Sea.
Date: 20 July – 18 August 2023. Location: Phillips, 30 Berkeley Square, London, W1J 6EX. Price: Free. Website: phillips.com.
