Color pigment print on Somerset velvet enhanced paper

Untitled – Plate 3 from the Garden 2 by Marc Quinn is a vibrant pigment print that immerses the viewer in a surreal, lush underwater garden. The composition is filled with a wide array of vividly colored flowers, plants, and foliage set against a deep blue aquatic backdrop. The mixture of natural and fantastical elements creates an otherworldly atmosphere, as if capturing a dreamlike ecosystem. The colors are intense and varied, with red, yellow, and green tones standing out, while the reflections on the water surface add depth and complexity. Quinn's work often explores themes of nature, life, and artificiality, and this piece is no exception.

I still think science is looking for answers and art is looking for questions.
- Marc Quinn

A contemporary visual artist, Marc Quinn has received widespread acclaim for his portrayal of the human form and its many complexities and variations. Quinn is known to use a variety of organic materials including bread, leaves, and even his own blood – his on-going series, titled ‘Self’ is a self-portrait formed through a frozen cast that is made up of 10 pints of his own blood; Quinn re-visits this work every 5 years by creating a new cast with fresh blood. Asides from the organic materials that he has become associated with, Quinn uses traditional materials such as bronze, marble and stainless steel; perhaps his most famous sculpture to focus on the differences found across the scale of human bodies is that of Alison Lapper, a fellow British artist born sans arms and with extremely shortened legs – it was displayed on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, London between September 2005 and October 2007.

What is Uncanny?

The Uncanny is a concept described by psychologist Sigmund Freud as the eerie or unsettling feeling that arises when something familiar is presented in a strange or unfamiliar way. Surrealist artists, who aimed to reveal the subconscious and merge it with reality, often utilized this concept by combining familiar objects in unexpected and bizarre ways. This approach created a sense of discomfort or unease, challenging the viewer's perception of reality.
