Bob Quinn, 1948 | Figurative sculptor

Bob Quinn works full time as a sculptor in Blackrock Co Dublin.

He has pursued his love of drawing and sculpture throughout his career and has illustrated several publications and has been a regular contributor of illustrations to Independent Newspapers.

His sculptures appear in private collections and gardens throughout Ireland, Britain and Europe.

Although loosely described as figurative his art is expressionist and his deep knowledge of anatomy allows him to abstract the human form and make the simplest of observations.

His lifelong influences have been Epstein, Marini🎨 and Giacometti🎨 and painters such as Millet🎨 and Degas🎨.

His current work is a celebration of the drama and the nobility of the most ordinary of human activity. In terms of the craft of sculpture he enjoys the whole time worn process: Working from preparatory sketches to the wax or clay original he then makes his own moulds before taking the wax through the long casting procedure to the patination process and to the permanence of the final sculpture.

Bob Quinn ha goduto di una lunga carriera nel settore pubblicitario irlandese come artista commerciale, designer e come capo di un'azienda di design e produzione di successo.

Ora lavora a tempo pieno come scultore in Blackrock Co Dublin, dove vive con sua moglie e due figlie.

Ha perseguito il suo amore per il disegno e la scultura per tutta la sua carriera, ha illustrato diverse pubblicazioni e ha contribuito regolarmente alle illustrazioni dei giornali indipendenti.

Le sue sculture compaiono in collezioni private e giardini in Irlanda, Gran Bretagna ed Europa.

Sebbene descritta vagamente come figurativa, la sua arte è espressionista e la sua profonda conoscenza dell'anatomia gli consente di astrarre la forma umana e rendere le osservazioni più semplici.

Le sue influenze per tutta la vita sono state Epstein, Marini e Giacometti🎨 e pittori come Millet🎨 e Degas🎨.
