Lot Essay

‘I started the Flower Paintings in 2007 – they come from frozen sculptures and are a reflection of humans’ relationships with nature and the planet. [...] It perfectly illustrates how human desire constantly reshapes nature’s limitations. The fact that these flowers are always available to us is artificial and unnatural. The other side to these works is that they are a celebration of colour, life and sensuality’ (M. Quinn, quoted in conversation with L. Kresler, 2010, https://staging.christies.com/features/2010-may-marc-quinn-in-conversation-758-1.aspx, [accessed 11 September 2014]).
