Burning Man Festival 2006,Black Rock Desert, Nevada: the place where it al started for Arne Quinze’s wooden stick sculptures. It was there that Quinze decided to create and burn his first sculpture Uchronia, a 30m high and 60m wide wooden construction. Typical for Quinze’s strademark sculptures are the individual timbers scattered and suspended throughout the structure. An intricate elegance created by the thousands of delicate connections holding together the sculpture. Quinze’s artwork is mainly about contrasts, contradiction, evolution, speed and time.

Since then he’s conquering the world with his wooden, neon orange sculptures. Cityscape (2007) and The Sequence (2008) are two of his giant wooden public art installations in the centre of Brussels. In Munich, Germany, he built Traveller (2008) for French luxury fashion and leather goods brand Louis Vuitton. Other public art installations by Arne Quinze have recently been revealed in the centre of Paris, France (Rebirth, 2008), Beirut, Lebanon (The Visitor, 2009) and Rouen, France (Camille, 2010).
