Marc Quinn - What a Big Baby!

‘Planet’ is the title of a large sculpture that seems to float against the backdrop of Singapore’s night skyline.  The artist Marc Quinn modeled the baby sculpture after his own 7-month old son.  He describes the work as follows: “To me, Planet is a paradox - hugely heavy, yet the bronze appears weightless; overwhelmingly big, yet also an image of vulnerability. It is both a reflection of ourselves and the earth upon which we live."

The huge sculpture weighs seven tons, is over 10 meters long, and made from painted bronze and steel.
