Description

White Cube Mason's Yard was pleased to present 'Evolution', a major new installation featuring a series of nine monumental sculptures, in fleshy pink marble, that represent the growth of the human embryo and foetus during its gestation. Quinn was prompted to make these works after witnessing the way many viewers reacted with repulsion to his series of figurative sculptures depicting people who are missing arms and legs. He felt the need to confront people with a direct portrayal of their own strange beginnings, the unsettling and barely recognisable shape taken by human life before birth. A fully illustrated catalogue, with an essay by Jerry Brotton and an interview with Will Self, accompanied the exhibition.
