British visual artist Marc Quinn has long been interested in the links between nature and humanity, and this exhibition at Kew Gardens promises to embolden that vision through mirrored stainless-steel sculptures that blur the boundaries between visitors’ bodies, the artwork and the landscape.
Marc Quinn: Light Into Life in all counts 17 stunning stainless steel and bronze sculptures, dotted around the Gardens and in the Temperate House at Kew, as well as a presentation of the artist’s new and existing paintings, drawings, sculptures and ‘frozen’ works, on view in the Shirley Sherwood Gallery.
There’s a chance to learn more about plants too – Quinn has spent time collaborating closely with Kew scientists and horticulturists to learn about plants in the Kew collection: their forms and shapes inspire the works visitors will encounter here, presenting plants as they’ve never been seen before.
