HIDDEN BEAUTY. Arne Quinze

In the organizer's words:

With "Hidden Beauty" I want to dive deep into the hidden beauty of nature. I function as nature's archivist, meticulously documenting the delicate balance of existence - from luminous bloom to inevitable decay. At the core of "Hidden Beauty" lies a profound truth: that nature is the ultimate artist and humanity its humble interpreter.(Arne Quinze)

Influenced by the underground culture of the 1980s, experimental electronic music and manga anime culture, Belgian multimedia artist Arne Quinze (born 1971 in Ghent) began to merge the vibrancy of the digital age with the diversity of nature. Since then, he has been transforming urban spaces into living canvases. His mission is clear: Quinze's research is concerned with the future relationship between nature and humans and the question of whether we as humans will continue to alienate ourselves from nature or forge new connections.

In recent years, Arne Quinze has exhibited in renowned galleries and museums worldwide, including Frieze Sculpture in London, Kunsthal Rotterdam, MAMAC Museum in Nice, Marta Herford Museum and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. Arne Quinze's large, immersive sculpture installations such as "Aurora" (Cairo/Egypt), "Oasis" (Riyadh/ Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), "Amazonia" (Luxembourg/Grand Duchy of Luxembourg), "Beaux Reveur" (Paris) culminate in his installation "Are We The Aliens_", which is currently on display at the 60th Venice Biennale. With "Are We The Aliens_", Arne Quinze provocatively reverses common interpretations of our self-image.

The exhibition is divided into two different aspects: an art installation whose sculptural elements from various media merge into an immersive overall opus using AI-controlled four-axis video, audio and light multimedia installations, and a series of large-format paintings that are being presented to the public for the first time. Exuberant and in a lush flow of color, Arne Quinze exudes an ideal of nature and growth that positions beauty against decay and destruction.
