Lorenzo Quinn: Baby 3.0, Venice

Contini Art Gallery presents a solo exhibition by internationally renowned figurative artist Lorenzo Quinn, which will be held in Calle Larga XXII Marzo 2414, in Venice. Through his sculpture, Quinn investigates the depths of the human connection with the fate and preservation of the Venetian lagoon, to which he has always felt very close. The artist's sculptures and drawings are seen together for the first time in the exhibition Baby 3.0. These artworks are the result of an investigation, which the artist has been carrying out over the past few years by working on the topics of rebirth and the importance of Life. The exhibition complements the monumental homonymous work located in the beautiful garden of Palazzo Corner della Ca' Granda in San Marco that overlooks the Grand Canal and is the historic home to the Metropolitan City of Venice, as well as to the Prefecture of Venice. The sculpture is entitled Baby 3.0 and is made of a stainless steel mesh and cast aluminum. With its 7 meters high and almost 9 meters wide, Baby 3.0 represents a baby who is ready to be born from its mother's womb. The artwork auspices for a new Re-birth: as the title already suggests, the artist intends to oer a more evolved and better form of humanity, that is a 3.0 version of ourselves towards which we should aim.
