he has assuredly established himself as one of the most dynamic 
  £1,495
and challenging sculptors of his generation.  
There are themes and references throughout his work to the 
great figurative masters – from Michelangelo, Bernini, Jean-Baptiste 
Carpeaux to Auguste Rodin, and while much of his work is inspired 
by the legacy and sheer magnitude of their work, Quinn has 
reinterpreted elements of their art for a modern audience. Now liv-
ing in Barcelona he frequently returns to Italy to gain inspiration and 
knowledge. “Inspiration comes from everyday life, from something I 
read, from conversations with people, family milestones. Essentially 
anything that stirs an emotion in me,” he says.
Although raised partly in Italy, it was in Rome that he discovered 
his love for art and he started out as a painter in 1982, after training 
at the American Academy of Fine Arts in New York. After a brief 
and successful stint as an actor he returned to his first love – art, and 
specifically surrealist art having ironically played the master of the 
form Salvador Dali in one of his acting roles. The transition from art 
to sculpture was a smooth one as he finally identified sculpture as 
the most powerful way of delivering his artistic vision to an audi-
ence. “For all the superficial things in life, having a famous father has 
been an asset, but for the more difficult aspects of life it’s been hard 
because people expect so much more from you,” says Quinn. 
A great believer in the democracy of art he is a champion of the 
collector rather than the critic. “I make art for myself and people 
who wish to come along for a ride through my dreams,” he says.
