The sculpture by British artist Marc Quinn "Planet" It has just been opened in Singapore. It is a bronze and painted steel figure that represents a seven ton baby, made by sculptor Marc Quinn. The effect of the baby that seems to float in space, being anchored to the ground by a single point, is impressive.
The artist was inspired by his sleeping son, and has already been exhibited in other places, such as in the United Kingdom. It is not surprising that this sculpture of hyper-realistic appearance and spectacular trip around the world, although it seems that this time is here to stay.
The sculpture, created in 2008, has been donated for its permanent exhibition in the Bay Gardens of Singapore. The artist points out that for him "Planet" is a paradox, since it is enormously heavy, but it seems weightless; It is overwhelmingly large, but also an image of vulnerability. Thus it becomes a reflection of ourselves and the world in which we live.
We have seen giant baby sculptures also in Madrid, in Malaga, in Paris ... Now without a doubt the seven-ton baby that "floats" in Singapore It will attract visitors to its new "cradle". How small we will appear in the photos by your side!
