Lorenzo Quinn

Lorenzo Quinn is an internationally renowned figurative Italian-American sculptor, born in Rome in 1966 to the Oscar-winning Mexican-American actor Anthony Quinn and his second wife, costume designer Iolanda Addolori. During his years of study at the American Academy of Fine Arts in New York, Quinn realized that, among all the arts, his future would lie in sculpture. All his public artworks, as well as his smaller pieces, convey his passion for eternal values and authentic emotions.

Over the past two decades, Lorenzo Quinn's works have been exhibited worldwide. The communicative power and immediacy of the message are indeed the elements that characterize his sculptures, especially the monumental public artworks that Quinn has exhibited in many prestigious international contexts, captivating global audiences, often with charitable and philanthropic purposes: in Park Lane, Barkely Square, and Cadogan Gardens in London, in the courtyard of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, at Windsor Castle in Berkshire, at the Casina Valadier in Rome, in front of the Church of San Martino in Birmingham, in front of the Cathedral of Palermo, at the Paramount Group skyscraper on Avenue of the Americas in New York, and at the Museum of Modern Art in Palma de Mallorca; on the Doha waterfront in Qatar, on the roof of the Museum of Modern Art in Shanghai overlooking the Huangpu River.

Among the monumental works, Support (2017) stands out, exhibited in Venice - the hands of a child emerging from the waters of the Grand Canal to support Ca' Sagredo, a symbol of the beauty and fragility of the city - Building Bridges (2019) at the Arsenale in Venice - six pairs of hands representing the six universally recognized essential values: friendship, wisdom, help, faith, hope, and love. Give (2020) installed also in the Boboli Gardens in Florence, to testify to the importance of "giving." Among the latest works, Baby 3.0 installed in the Garden of the Metropolitan City (2022) again in Venice, with which the Artist hopes for a new Re-birth of Humanity.
