"Love Bomb", outdoor artwork by Marc Quinn. Lime Avenue, Jupiter Artland, Bonnington House, Wilkieston, West Lothian, Scotland, United Kingdom, Europe
"Love Bomb" is a 12 metre high orchid, lazer printed onto vinyl and adhered to a stainless steel orchid sculpture. A modified flower at once monstrous and seductively beautiful, demonstrating the ways in which human desires are now shaping the natural world. Marc Quinn (born 8 January 1964) is a British contemporary visual artist whose work includes sculpture, installation and painting. Quinn explores 'what it is to be human in the world today' through subjects including the body, genetics, identity, environment and the media. His work has used materials that vary widely, from blood, bread and flowers, to marble and stainless steel. Quinn has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Sir John Soane's Museum, Tate, National Portrait Gallery, Fondation Beyeler, Fondazione Prada and South London Gallery. The artist was a notable member of the Young British Artists movement, which included Sarah Lucas and Damien Hirst. Quinn is internationally celebrated and was awarded the commission for the first edition of the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2004, for which he exhibited Alison Lapper Pregnant. Quinn's notorious frozen self-portrait series made of his own blood, Self (1991–present) was subject to a retrospective at Fondation Beyeler in 2009. Quinn lives and works in London.
