Man Struck by Lightning
1998
A monumental bronze figure captures a human form frozen in a moment of violent, electrifying impact, the body contorted and suspended in a dramatic pose that conveys both vulnerability and raw energy. Marc Quinn masterfully uses the weight and permanence of bronze and steel to contrast the fleeting, unpredictable nature of a lightning strike, creating a tension between stillness and chaos. The sculpture invites reflection on the fragility of human existence and the overwhelming, indifferent power of natural forces.
