Marc Quinn

This sculpture known as Self-Conscious Gene was crated by Marc Quinn. This sculpture is a bronze 3.5 metre that will go on display in the Science Museum's new medicine galleries. It will be permanently displayed in fall 2019. I chose this piece because of the bronze shine it has and all the details. It is amazing the amount of little line work that was put into this thing. It almost looks like a human in robot form. This sculpture represented someone in real life known as Rick Genest (Zombie Boy). Genest pased away recently from a brain tumor he had since his teens. Since the diagnoses he wanted to celebrate his body by covering it will tattoos. I think this piece also shows sadness because of the head tilt downwards and the squinted eyes.
