‘Meteor III’ is a pigment print by award winning British artist Marc Quinn. Printed onto 300gsm Somerset Photo paper, the print is from a limited edition of 250. Signed and numbered by the artist.Contemporary artist Marc Quinn is one of the leading names of the twenty-first century British art scene. Famous for casting his head in ten pints of his own frozen blood, and for crowning Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth with the exceptional marble sculpture of artist Alison Lapper, Quinn has been a rising star of the art world since the 1990s, producing an extensive and distinctive oeuvre like no other. With a penchant for humanity’s darker side and a tendency toward the existential, Quinn creates an art that thinks, always probing life’s big questions through an aesthetic which is captivating. ‘Meteor III’ indulges in Quinn’s fascination with horticulture, mixing in a little of his dark aesthetic. Against a black background, the print depicts a large Orchid in negative tones: white petals have become black, picked out with a thin white line, and the areas of shadow have taken on a ghostly hue. A pop of electric-yellow sits at the orchid’s centre and, around the edges of the square print, Quinn has included snippets of other flowers and fruit, in reds and yellows. Beautiful but bewitching, with its hyper-real palette, ‘Meteor III’ reveals the darker side of mother nature.

His attention to the complex systems which govern our world, such as our relationship with nature, human desire, identity, and beauty reflect Marc’s passion for symbolic and thoughtful artworks. His hyperrealistic oil paintings of flowers reinvigorate the traditional still-life into vibrant images: “Since most of the flowers and fruit in these compositions would never bloom at the same time, or even be found together in the natural world, they show us the way in which human desire has created new seasons - bringing together in one geographical location things that nature would not assemble.” Marc Quinn Marc graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in History and History of Art, and regularly uses his academic background to connect his contemporary artwork to that of antiquity. He is particularly interested in the relationship between art and science, the human body and the perception of beauty. As a leading contemporary artist, Marc has exhibited internationally in various prestigious museums and galleries, including; Tate Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, The British Museum, MACRO, Musée Océanographique, and Somerset House. In addition to numerous exhibitions, he has received two awards for his art prints: The Royal Academy of Arts Charles Wollaston Award in 2001 and the 4th Plinth Commission for Trafalgar Square in 2004. We’ve been working with Marc Quinn since 2012.
