Artist and designer Arne Quinze is known for creating structural architectures, abstract sculptures for public spaces and monumental pieces.
His works usually interact with people, providing them bridges, roofs or canopies under which passers by can meet, talk, meditate or relax.
In the last few months Quinze has been experimenting with new themes and topics, creating smaller pieces exhibited in galleries or in other public spaces.
A couple of months ago his bright red metal installation comprising 14 wings and entitled "Chaos Wind" was successfully installed at the Jing’An Kerry Centre in Shanghai.
In the meantime, Quinze developed a series of works inspired by chaos and made using wooden sticks trapped in glass boxes representing small visions of chaos, of the confusion that goes on into his mind and in the society surrounding him.
While analysing this concept the artist and designer understood that chaos means life and reinterpreted the main theme from an architectural point of view, translating confusion into structures.
As he moved on, Quinze decided to explore chaos through different materials, with brass works trapping pieces of coloured glass that actually look a bit like minerals or precious stones.
Some of these works call to mind Alexander Calder's mobiles as they are created to be suspended from the ceiling; others hung on walls like paintings, but all are characterised by strong dynamic forces.
The new pieces will be part of the Chaos in Motion exhibition, scheduled to open in October At The Gallery, in Antwerp.
