\nIn his 30-year career, Arne Quinze managed to rise to the very top of the world scene of contemporary art. His work can be found in public spaces and exhibitions from Brazil to Miami, London, Paris, Cairo, and China. All his works are most closely inspired by nature. In recent years, numerous sculptures under the common name of the Lupine flower have conquered world exhibitions and squares. Lupine became his trademark.

He spent his childhood surrounded by nature, and then the family moved to Brussels. Expectations were high and the results were disappointing. He refers to urban living as the \"Religion of four walls,\" and compensates for the absence and variety of natural beauty in cities through art.<\/p>

From the onset of his career, he aimed to dominate the urban landscape. Starting with murals on walls and trains as a youth, he later progressed to more significant interventions, mainly through sculpture.<\/p>

He employs construction techniques and tools akin to those used by architects to create his sculptures.<\/p>

He integrates nature among buildings, not merely as small accents but in substantial volumes that challenge the scale of architectural forms, suggesting that architects are not the sole masters of creation.<\/p>

He purposefully injects chaos as a sculptor, breaking the modular uniformity typical of architectural designs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The artist's wooden constructions resemble large nests or treetops. Huge canopies refer to shared living and invite socializing outside of 4 walls. Through this game, Arne Kinze refines the urban fabric.<\/p>

It is as if he loudly draws attention to the deforestation for the construction of cities.<\/p>

The enormous talent was recognized by the city leaders of Brussels in 2008. They placed his wooden installation called \"The Sequence\" between the Flemish Parliament and the House of Flemish representatives. A red luxurious infusion, 16m high, covered the street with a length of 80m. It was dismantled in 2014. to the great displeasure of the citizens of Brussels.<\/p>

A year earlier, in 2007, \"Cityscape,\" another wooden installation, had been set up in Brussels' Louisa area. It graced the center of a large square with its presence for two years, leaving behind a void and a lack of inspiration upon its removal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Simultaneously, Arne Qunze crafts smaller vertical wooden sculptures.<\/p>

His series of sculptures, 'Stilt Houses,' depicts a figure perched on delicate stilts, reaching for the sky. Despite their fragility, these slim supports are capable of bearing substantial weight.<\/p>

Initially, the houses featured a variety of hues, but later, a singular red was chosen. Quinze believes red embodies a dichotomy: it signals caution yet also conveys the essential warmth of life. Blood, too, represents both mortality and the genesis of life.<\/p>

These sculptures, transient urban fixtures, have mostly been removed, underscoring the transient nature of existence\u2014nothing lasts forever, and all is subject to decay and renewal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Following wood, aluminum becomes the preferred material for Arne's sculptural works. The production process is completely mechanical. Construction machines bend aluminum sheets for large sculptures.\u00a0<\/p>

The rock sculptures are red too, and extremely striking.<\/p>

Ostend, a coastal city in Belgium, has embraced art wholeheartedly. Arne Quinze was commissioned to craft a public sculpture at Heroes of the Sea Square, creating a distinctive atmosphere.<\/p>

The large red rocks appear as if cast ashore by the sea, echoing the pertinent theme of migration in coastal regions.<\/p>

Artistic endeavors have now put this city on the global map.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The artist and his team form a flower garden of fields and wildflowers. It becomes an inexhaustible, extremely fruitful inspiration.<\/p>

2017 a Lupine sculpture appears. At the same time, Arne Quinze turns to painting that resembles impressionism in the size of the canvas.<\/p>

Lupine's first sculptures, like his paintings, were richly colored. They are a fusion of industrial products - aluminum, bent by construction machines, and the intuitive application of paint by the artist.<\/p>

In Valencia, Quinze juxtaposes such a sculpture with the super-precisely executed architectural work of Santiago Calatrava. The stark contrast between the two leading creators is quite apparent. The electric energy generated from their interaction has rendered their connection unbreakable, thus making it seem natural.<\/p>

Lupine is now in the phase of a monochrome sculpture, and colors are added by multi-colored lights similar to the lights of a metropolis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
