The paintings are inspired by his childhood memories of holidays spent in British coastal destinations such as Scarborough, Filey, Whitby and Skegness, and his lifelong pastime of beach walks during UK winters. Hirst was influenced in part by Abstract Expressionism, specifically Robert Motherwell's \u003ci\u003eBeside the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e paintings from the 1960s. With their spattered textures mimicking sprays of water, Hirst's paintings reveal an unerring captivation with the sea and its connections with awe, inevitability and nothingness. The exhibition catalog showcases full-color reproductions of the complete works, complemented by thoughtful texts from British writer and curator David Campany and British art critic James Cahill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Heni Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50899539525906,"sku":"9781912122776","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_babb545c-1a4c-468e-a4ff-18ee80886314.jpg?v=1738359476","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/damien-hirst-where-the-land-meets-the-sea-9781912122776","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
