Lorenzo Quinn
Lorenzo Quinn was born in Rome in 1966 and works in avant-garde figurative sculpture, which he uses the way other people use language. He is a storyteller first, drawn to the energies that give life its meaning, and sculpture is simply how he says it.
He chose the hardest possible subject on purpose. The hands are considered the most technically demanding part of the human body, and they have become the core of a body of work that has crossed borders: Venice, Shanghai, Cannes, Mallorca and Giza are only some of the cities that have shown it. His reasoning is characteristically direct. Hands love, hate, create and destroy, and there is no gesture they cannot carry.
The writing comes first. He conceives each piece in words, and the poetic text that comes out of that process is displayed alongside the sculpture as part of the work rather than as a label. Facing a blank page is where his process begins, because what he is after is that the story behind each piece can be understood, not just admired.
Family is the heart of his art. Michelangelo, Bernini and Rodin are the masters he measures himself against.

Hands have a lot of power: they love, hate, create and destroy.
