Orchidee
Wilder shores of desire door Marc Quinn, 2011
Celebration of
life Quinn is
gefascineerd door orchideeën: "Orchids are like perfectly evolved little
sculptures in themselves, they're full of colour, interesting shapes and
beauty. Even though they are a plant's reproductive organs, they pun on human
ones too. They make you realise it is colour, life and sexuality that keeps
the world turning. They are a celebration of life. I like all kinds of
flowers, irises, sunflowers and anthuriums are great but none are quite as
good as orchids.”
Marc Quinn (Eng. 1964) Wikipedia NL Wikipedia E www.marcquinn.com Quinn:
“All my work is about what it is to be a person alive in the world.” Quinn:
"I like to bring real life into art. But look at any news bulletin and
it's a million times worse. I don't make art about people being blown up. Art
should reflect the time you live in. I'm making art for the future, for
people who have not been born yet." "An
artwork is like a time machine. It's the only thing that can carry emotions
through time. That's why it's important to make art about now."
