// My home, my house, my stilt house by Arne Quinze, created in 2010, is a dynamic digital print that explores the concept of habitation and architecture. The piece features a bold, sketch-like representation of a stilt house structure, overlaid with expressive splashes of orange paint and black lines that evoke a sense of movement and spontaneity. The handwritten text MY HOME, MY HOUSE, MY STILT HOUSE in bright orange emphasizes a personal, almost poetic reflection on space and shelter. The chaotic and energetic strokes, combined with the raw, urban aesthetic, reflect Quinze's signature style, merging architecture with street art influences. This limited edition print captures the artist's fascination with temporary structures and the notion of home as a flexible, evolving concept.
Arne Quinze (Belgium, 1971) is a contemporary artist renowned for his large-scale public installations that challenge urban monotony. His work, often constructed from wooden planks and vibrant materials, fosters social interaction and reflects his background as a graffiti artist. Notable projects include 'The Sequence' in Brussels and 'The Passenger' in Mons.

In my work, I have always been attracted to the way we live, our dwellings, how cities grow and evolve.
- Arne Quinze
Arne Quinze’s first foray into art was as a graffiti artist; he has since gone on to become renowned for his provocative art installations and controversial sculptures and paintings. Quinze’s sculptures are primarily comprised of various types of wood – cardboard, salvaged wood and polyurethane; he also uses fluorescent colours as a means of creating a contrast between his final output and its surroundings – vivid oranges and reds estrange the sculptures from their environmental backgrounds and further provoke viewers into feeling that same sense of estrangement. One of Quinze’s most famous works, Stilthouses, can be seen as an allusion to humans on fragile legs: a nod to the strength of man. An installation created by Quinze, titled Rock Strangers, depicts various different ‘strange’ objects that have cropped up where we would least expect them; of this installation, Quinze asked the question: “Who or what remains the stranger, the person confronted with it or the object itself?” (Artist website)
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.
