Kuma Mela
Orchids regularly crop up in Marc Quinn's work, allowing him to further explore themes of beauty and death. For Kuma Mela, Quinn brings together flowers from different continents that would never typically bloom at the same time, capturing them together in their prime.
To create the artwork, Quinn photographs the blooms and digitally-reworks them prior to printing, deliberately accentuating the voluptuous nature of his carefully chosen subjects. Of orchids, Quinn has commented: 'Orchids are like perfectly evolved little sculptures in themselves, they're full of colour, interesting shapes and beauty. Even though they are a plant's reproductive organs, they pun on human ones too. They make you realise it is colour, life and sexuality that keeps the world turning'.
From a limited edition of just 20, the archival pigment print is signed on the front and numbered on the reverse by the artist.
Size (cm): 112 x 75
