The Civilisation Paintings

By Damien Hirst

The Civilisation Paintings offer a vibrant visual exploration of cities set amidst a burst of plant life. Each work juxtaposed sprawling urban environments with flourishing flowers, trees, and wildlife, presenting a scene where the man-made and the organic merge in vivid, unexpected harmony. Buildings, bridges, and urban structures appeared overwhelmed by a riot of colourful blooms, creating a compelling narrative about the endurance of nature within human-created chaos.

About the edition

To complement the original Civilisation Paintings, Hirst also released a series of four unique prints. These giclée prints, created on Cotton Smooth Rag, were a continuation of the themes explored in the paintings. Each print measured 143 x 112 cm (framed) and was hand-signed and numbered by the artist, adding a personal touch to these exclusive pieces.

The Civilisation Prints mirrored the vibrant cityscapes overrun by nature, again combining realistic urban elements with chaotic flourishes of colour. The prints not only captured the spirit of the original paintings but also brought Hirst’s exploration of civilisation’s fragility and beauty to a wider audience. They stand as a testament to the powerful, universal themes of decay, rebirth, and resilience.

Best in classs

We'd been in touch with Huw and his colleagues at Lougher Contemporary for over a year, in search of a Yayoi Kusama print that caught our eye. Huw gave us expert advice about several different pieces that came into his collection before we settled on one. The Gallery could not have been more accommodating in the entire process - from letting us view the print over FaceTime since we couldn't get to Bristol easily, connecting us with a topnotch framer whose stamp is critical in future valuations, validating the print, and every step in between. We'd love to support them again.

Brilliant Service

Excellent service. They walk you through every step of the process. They have honest advice on pricing and and a very clear fee structure. The first item sold within a few days and they have sold consistently over the time I have consigned with them. Would highly recommend and the staff are really fast to respond. My favourite place to consign with by far. Thanks guys.
