Marc Quinn. A Moment of Clarity. £480.00. 2012. Edition of 150. Digital print on Somerset 300gsm. Paper size: 375 x 268 mm. Image size: 365 x 258mm. Signed and numbered. Price Inclusive of VAT. This print reflects many of the themes that run through Marc Quinn’s oeuvre. The photograph contrasts an urban image — a young man in a hooded sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms — holding a skull and coming face to face with his own mortality. It represents a pause in hectic city life and its ghostly inversion as a haunting monochromatic image — achieved by inverting the photograph — lends the work an ethereal presence that emphasises the fragility of human existence.
