Drowned World
A monumental bronze sculpture by Marc Quinn, "Drowned World" features a richly textured surface transformed by a heat-treated chrome patina that shifts with iridescent, otherworldly tones. The work explores themes of environmental crisis and human vulnerability, evoking a world submerged beneath the pressures of climate change and ecological collapse. Quinn's mastery of cast bronze is elevated by the luminous patina, creating a tension between the solidity of the material and the fluid, unstable world it represents.
