Quinn’s World

Recall seeing a very well contorted Kate Moss along the streets of Orchard Road, or a suspending foetus right above the neatly manicured greens at Gardens By The Bay? Then, you would have witnessed a piece of British artist Marc Quinn’s wide-ranging oeuvre of artworks.

Often dealing with the distanced relationship we have with our bodies and with nature and highlighting how the conflict between the ‘natural’ and ‘cultural’ has a grip on the contemporary psyche, his works are both deeply spiritual and provocative. Quinn often employs an uncompromising array of materials, from ice and blood to glass, marble and lead in his works.
