Description
▲ Lorenzo Quinn (Italian, b.1966), ‘Four Loves’, bronze, wood, stainless steel, red travertine and steel, numbered '6/8', 127cm high 'Four Loves’ was inspired when Quinn was reading C S Lewis’s ‘Four Loves’. He explains: ‘I decided to present the Loves as the foundation stones on which the weight of the World should be supported. The first stone, representing Faith, Affection and Love (Agape), is made out of polished bronze so as to look pure. The second stone symbolises passionate love (Eros), for which I have used red stone, strong yet fragile on its own. The third is Friendship (Philia), and I have created this in polished stainless steel, because you are reflected in your friends. Finally, the fourth represents family love (Storge), and I have made this one out of wood, a warm material, because it is live, organic and grows. On top of these stones you build your world, which is a complex puzzle that has to be assembled. And finally, when you put this all together, you build your relationship, and if you then manage to keep in perfect balance, you achieve the ultimate goal of having a long-lasting relationship which is magical and more precious than gold.’
