About the artwork
H13-1 Deadman's Cove (Where the Land Meets the Sea) belongs to Where the Land Meets the Sea,a group of editions developed from Hirst’s coastal paintings. Broad marks and saturated color describe the unstable boundary between water,weather and shoreline. The square format contains the energetic surface without resolving it into a conventional landscape,leaving representation and abstraction in active tension.
The stated technique is laminated Giclée print on aluminium composite panel. It measures approximately 90 × 90 cm. The high-resolution printed surface is mounted to a rigid aluminium composite panel,giving the image the physical presence of an object rather than a conventional sheet of paper. Saturated color and edge-to-edge detail reinforce the series’ balance between visual excess and tightly controlled production.
Expert opinion
Deadman's Cove anchors an energetic painted surface to a specific British coastal location. The series treats the shoreline as a zone of instability,where solid ground,moving water and changing weather continually meet. Hirst’s broad marks keep the image between landscape and abstraction,allowing physical sensation to take precedence over topographical description.
As a work by Damien Hirst,H13-1 Deadman's Cove (Where the Land Meets the Sea) is notable because it uses repetition and controlled variation to connect visual pleasure with impermanence.
About the artist
Born in Bristol in 1965, Damien Hirst is one of the UK's most influential contemporary artists. He studied at Goldsmiths College in London, where in 1988 he organized Freeze, an emblematic exhibition that launched the Young British Artists movement. This initiative attracted the attention of influential collectors, including Charles Saatchi, and propelled Hirst onto the art scene. His artistic approach revolves around the themes of life, death and mortality, with works such as The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (a shark preserved in formaldehyde). His work often marries science and art, exploring the beauty and fragility of human existence through provocative materials and striking installations.Hirst has exhibited at prestigious institutions such as the Tate Modern (London) and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale (Naples). In 2008, he defied the art market by auctioning his work directly at Sotheby's, raising £111 million in two days, a record for a living artist.
