Considered one of the most important and controversial contemporary British artists, Marc Quinn uses his own body – which he regards as being free of all associations – as a primary source of inspiration. Employing lead, mercury, blood, bread and a variety of bodily fluids in the context of a highly personalised symbolic language, Quinn comments on change, uncertainty, death and the universals of being human. This overview exhibition of his drawings and sculptures features two of his most highly regarded works – ‘Emotional Detox: The Seven Deadly Sins’ and ‘No Visible Means of Escape’ I and II.
