Arne Quinze creates large and small sculptures, drawings, paintings, and large-scale installations. His smaller works are the basis and research for his large installations. Recurring fundamentals in his oeuvre are the use of wood and metal, electrical colors in fluorescent paint, and themes referring to social interaction, nature and urbanism. What drives him is the belief in the possible realization of an idealistic society where all individuals communicate and interact, aiming to bring people together and push them into a vigorous dialogue. His unconventional public installations have challenged perceptions in the city centers of Belgium (Cityscape, The Sequence), Germany (The Traveller), France (Camille, Rock Strangers), Lebanon (The Visitor), China (Red Beacon), Brazil (Matarazzo), the USA (Uchronia, Timegate, Whispers), among others.
He writes, «Cities like open-air museums – it sounds like an idealistic dream, but I am striving to realize this dream. Confronting a public surrounded by art every day. Art has a positive influence on people and their personal development: it broadens their horizons and renders them more tolerant towards differences in society.»
