Initially created to coincide with the HENI exhibition Where the Land Meets the Sea (2023), this elegant and uniquely designed, large-format hardback catalogue features the large-scale oil works that form Damien Hirst's three series: 'Coast Paintings', 'Sea Paintings' and 'Seascapes'.

Influenced by Abstract Expressionism, specifically Robert Motherwell's 'Beside the Sea' paintings from the 1960s, as well as drawing on a personal, lifelong pastime of walking along beaches during UK winters, having holidayed as a child in coastal destinations like Scarborough, Filey, Whitby and Skegness, Hirst's works reveal an unerring captivation with the sea and its connections with awe, inevitability and nothingness.

The exhibition catalogue features full-colour reproductions of the complete works, complemented by thoughtful texts from British writer and curator David Campany, and British art critic James Cahill.
