Arne Quinze's monumental sculpture Camille envelops Pont Boieldieu in Rouen

In the summer of 2010, Belgian artist Arne Quinze (b. 1971) showcased two exhibitions: one at Abbatiale Saint-Ouen in Rouen from July 3 to August 29, and another at Galerie Guy Pieters in Knokke from August 7 to September 12. The Rouen exhibition included large-scale paintings inspired by Monet's Nymphéas and a significant installation called Camille, which measured 120 meters in length and 20 meters in height, constructed from thousands of wooden slats to represent interconnected humanity. Quinze’s smaller pieces, such as Stilthouses and City View, depicted unstable architectures. Having started graffiti at 14, he drew inspiration for his Africa Electronica series. His installations reflect on human experiences and social connections, resembling tendons and muscles. Quinze remarked, “With such installations, people gather as in a temple, but without God.” Additionally, works will be displayed at Show-off on the A.P.C. stand.
