Lorenzo Quinn’s “After Love” emanates an aura of profound intimacy, capturing the raw essence of human connection in the elegantly sculpted form of two intertwined hands. Known for his mastery in creating evocative and emotionally charged sculptures, Quinn exceeds expectations with this piece, fashioned in a rich, burnished bronze that highlights his exceptional technique and attention to detail. The smooth, lifelike contours of the hands convey a sense of warmth and tenderness, subtly inviting observers to explore the nuances of the human touch.
Renowned for his ability to evoke deep emotions through simple yet powerful compositions, Quinn uses “After Love” to explore themes of unity and separation, love and loss. The hands, gently cradling each other, tell a universal story of companionship and the enduring bonds that transcend time and space. With his distinct style, Lorenzo Quinn imbues each curve and line with soft transitions between light and shadow, enhancing the sculpture’s visceral impact and creating a sense of movement and life within the stillness.
“After Love” is not just a sculpture; it’s a testament to enduring relationships, offering a constant reminder of love’s unending power and beauty in any space it inhabits.

Lorenzo Quinn is one of the world’s leading contemporary sculptors. Born in 1966 to the actor Anthony Quinn and costume designer Iolanda Addolori, this artist was inspired by the work of his father when he first began developing his highly emotive art style. Quinn attended the American Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s; after initially pursuing surrealist painting, he realised his passion and ability for sculpture when he created a piece featuring Eve within Adam’s torso. After this, Quinn developed his now world renowned sculpting style.
Quinn’s success has been marked by several significant commissions. This began early in his career, including a piece commissioned by the United Nations in 1993, and another for the Vatican in 1994. Many other important commissions have since been completed by Quinn, as well as a number of public artworks. As a result, his work can be seen and recognised by numbers of fans that few contemporary artists could claim.
Quinn’s style of combining symbolic objects with realistic figures has meant that his work can be used to great effect in representational art. Because of this, he has used his art to create messages such as supporting action against climate change.
He continues to produce work to this day, and has seen great success in far-reaching, exclusive art events. Some of his most recent work has included a large installation at the Venice Biennale, which received worldwide attention and admiration.
