Sphinx Silver Leaf
Sphinx Silver Leaf is a silkscreen print by acclaimed contemporary artist Marc Quinn. Hand finished with silver overglaze, this 12 colour hand-pulled silkscreen is printed onto 410 gsm Somerset Tub paper.
The print depicts Quinn's iconic, 1996 sculpture of Kate Moss, the supermodel contorted in a superhuman human pose. The original sculpture was part of a sculptural series, each of which depicts Moss in an extreme yoga pose.
Here, Quinn captures the idealised unreality of Moss's beauty, reflecting on the distorting effects of global mass media and the modelling industry. Turning moss into a marble abstraction, Sphinx is a powerful work of contemporary sculpture from one of the leading voices in British art today.
A member of the YBA's, who shot to fame in the 1990s, Quinn is known for his contentious artworks, from casting his head from pints of his own blood, to hand prints made from toasted bread. With its dazzling silver overglaze, Sphinx Silver Leaf lets you brings the beauty of Quinn's sculptural work into the home.
From a limted edition of 150, each one hand signed and numbered by Quinn himself, Sphinx Silver Leaf is a rare must-have for the collector of contemporary fine-art printing.
