Damien Hirst, Kynance Cove (H13-3), 2023

"Kynance Cove (H13-3)" translates Hirst's gestural abstract painting into print format, referencing the distinctive Cornish coastal location known for its striking geological features and azure waters. The work manifests Hirst's interest in conveying environmental sensation through non-representational means. Through abstract mark-making and chromatic relationships, Hirst suggests the visual richness and physical dynamics of coastal environments without resorting to literal depiction. This approach aligns with his career-long investigation of how formal elements can trigger sensory and emotional responses independent of figurative representation.

The print's inclusion in the "Where the Land Meets the Sea" series positions it within Hirst's recent focus on natural boundaries and environmental interfaces. By naming the abstract composition after a specific location, Hirst creates a conceptual friction between place identity and non-representational art traditions, challenging viewers to reconsider relationships between abstraction, geography, and personal experience.
