Damien Hirst's 'The Civilisation Paintings' at Phillips auction house showcase urban environments transformed by vibrant flowers, promoting hope amidst modern life's complexities.
According to the exhibition's organizers, the 'Civilisation Paintings' series 'explore the necessity of hope despite the complexities and challenges of contemporary civilisation,' suggesting that art can reflect optimism.
The works, curated by Hirst's son, Connor, offer not just beauty but also 'light relief' in a world filled with distressing news, sparking conversation about the role of art.
While traditional art often addresses injustice, Hirst’s colorful flower imagery reminds us that not all art holds deep meaning, sometimes a simple expression of joy suffices.
