Damien Hirst's 'The Civilisation Paintings' at Phillips London delves into hope among the modern world's complexity. Cities backdrop plants, wildlife in chaotic, optimistic, and fantastical settings imbued with thrown paint for lack of control.
Hirst aims for his paintings to feel on the edge of destruction yet painted optimistically 'like ice cream' to counter nihilism and hate, urging hope despite the dark world.
