概况 Overview

Qu Art established in 2001 by John Heinz, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialized in modern and contemporary art. Its collection includes a broad range of original works from artists of different contries.

John Heinz is the person responsible for Qu Art’s collection of Dali sculptures. He has always loved his emblematic character of 20th century art, remembering that at 13 he had a poster of one of works of the Catalan master hanging over his bed. What a boon to be able to meet him in 1979. Another encounter, with Rober Descharnes, laid the basis for a friendship that would guide John Heinz through Dali’s mysteries for twenty years. He appreciates the less-known aspect of Salvador Dali’s work: the splendor of the three-dimensional. Like Picasso, whom he admired, Dali had a polymorphous approach.

Today, Qu Art holds the rights to eight sculptures plus two objects, and has contact with Dali Foundation in Figueras for sculpture works. This collection of sculptures perfectly illustrates Dali’s insatiable creative drive and his total mastery of passing from an object to an invention, a drawing, a painting or a sculpture. The Qu Art collection includes two angels- one surrealistic and the other cubist, a Twisted Christ, an Otorhinological Head of Venus, a Zootrope Model, a sculptural object called Sublime moment, a Night table and a head of Beethoven.

艺术家介绍 About the artists

雕塑费利克斯·鲁林(Félix Roulin)是比利时现世国宝级的雕塑大师，他早年曾执教于布鲁塞尔皇家艺术学院的高级建筑和视觉艺术系。鲁林于1931年出生于比利时小城迪囊。早在五十年代末就获得了比利时最高成就的现代雕塑奖，同年他的作品在巴黎双年展上展出并获罗丹博物馆颁发的奖项。因受政府的邀请和皇室的亲睐，他在比利时和欧洲各地创作出了许多城市景观佳作，同时他的作品也在世界各地展出。若从GOOGLE的卫星鸟瞰图查找鲁林的工作室，你会发现很清晰的一片呈现三角形的古庄园，他将这座十七世纪的庄园改造成了他的工作室和铸工厂，直至现年80多岁，他都力求所有作品亲力亲为，他带领自己亲自教授的学生和工徒在欧洲乃至世界各地创造出许多大型露天景观雕塑。

Linda Brunker

“My work comes from a place where art, science, nature and the human spirit meet. Our world is fascinating at every level, from microscopic organisms to the galaxy that surrounds us. I am becoming more and more aware of what the native American Indians always knew- that all things are connected. This work is the product of my continual explorations of the spiritual and physical world around me. “ 我的作品包含了艺术，科学，自然和人类精神。从微生物到我们周围的星系，我们的世界在每一个层面都是迷人的。我越来越意识到美国本土印第安人一直都信奉的一点—万物都是联系着的。这些作品是我不断探索周遭的精神和物质世界的产物。

Carole Eisner

A painter and a sculptor, Eisner has worked with scrap and recycled metal for 40 years, creating elegant, abstract forms welded in steel. The artist's twisted and curved sculptures reflect the surprising malleability she finds with metal. Eisner's larger-than-life works and small scale sculptures are ideal for public exhibition, and, indeed, have been exhibited in dozens of public parks, corporate plazas, cultural centers, museums and waterfronts all along the northeast corridor in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Florida, as well as in Belgium and France. Eisner's longevity as an artist - she has had over 20 solo shows and 20 group shows - is a testament to the mass appeal of her work and the natural marriage between her sculptures and the climate of public spaces. Eisner is represented in private, public and corporate collections, including the Guggenheim, and has been written up in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Who's Who in American Art, Vogue and New York Newsday. She was born and raised in the Bronx, and received a BFA from Syracuse University. Eisner is a life-long New Yorker, who splits her time between New York City and Weston, Connecticut. She is married to Richard Eisner, and together they stay busy with five children and a dozen grandchildren. Sculptures

John Atkin

Since leaving the RCA in London, where Henry Moore personally funded Atkin throughout his MA sculpture course, he has exhibited his work worldwide. Recent publications on Atkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; output focus on references to cultural heritage within the contemporary landscape. His work has been the subject of widespread media interest and editorials that focus on his work in public spaces, here in the UK & overseas. In recent years, Atkin has been invited to present keynote papers at a number of conferences worldwide including The 16th China Sculpture Forum. DIAOSU- National Sculpture Magazine of China, where he represented the Royal British Society of Sculptors, and also Sculpture by the Sea Symposium at the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney, Australia: in addition he was invited to speak at the Understanding the Post-Industrial City: metropolis, urban renewal and public space: Joint PhD Seminar Faculdade de Arquitectura - Universidade TĂŠcnica de Lisboa Bauhaus - Universitat Weimar

About this artist … 艺术家John来自英国——英国的工业革命影响了整个欧洲大陆，并带动了当时许多国家相继发生工业革命。正是这些历史深深影响着John的家庭，John来自一个工人阶级背景家庭。他的三维观念得益于其父亲对机器和汽车的爱好。从小就鼓弄发动机零件、弹簧和化油器。1982年,约翰•特被邀请为亨利·摩尔工作，协助摩尔和他的研究生学生们。他的充满机械零件风格的作品被很多欧美博物馆收藏，在北京奥运村也有他的作品。 John善于把坚硬的钢材弯曲成柔美的造型，我们中国有句古话叫做“百炼钢成绕指柔”，“绕指柔”同“百炼钢”由“化”这个动词连在一起，就勾起了一段炼钢的知识性问题来。对于技艺或创作，只要付出艰辛，反复琢磨，经过千锤百炼，终能达到炉火纯青的水平。把“绕指柔”作为文艺作品的名称，作为戒指的别称，或是其他什么的……，它应看作是反复、锻炼、酝酿（包括爱情，工业发展）等含义的引伸，甚至也可说是成就，是结果。

Arne Quinze Arne Quinze was born in 1971 in Belgium and lives and works in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium. In the eighties he began working as a graffiti artist but he never finished an official art education. Quinze creates large and small sculptures, drawings, paintings, and large-scale installations. Smaller works, sketches, and drawings are the basis and research for his large installations. Recurring fundamentals in his oeuvre are the use of multiple types of wood, including salvaged wood; electrical colors in fluorescent paint; and themes referring to social interaction, communication, and urbanism. Since a while he's doing research towards large steel installations. What drives Quinze is the belief in the possible realization of an idealistic society where all individuals communicate and interact, aiming to bring people together and push them into a vigorous dialogue. In his urban vision, communal activities flourish and social cohesion is the norm. His installations are built to provoke reaction and to intervene in the daily life of passersby confronted with his sculptures.

His unconventional public installations have challenged perceptions in the city centers of Belgium (Cityscape, The Sequence), Germany (The Traveller), France (Camille, Rock Strangers), Lebanon (The Visitor), China (Red Beacon) and the USA (Uchronia, Timegate), among others. In every culture Quinze comes across, he unravels physical processes, drawing inspiration for his oeuvre, and is fueled by overwhelming optimism. Every new creative breed captures his research and study on interaction, and urban movement expressing the continuously evolution of human beings and their surroundings. Besides building architectural sculptures, he creates complex art pieces and video installations inscribing his vision in society of how people see themselves and society. Works as Bidonvilles, Stilt houses, Chaos and My Home My House My Stilt house M Safe Garden have been shown on several exhibitions.

In 2008, Arne Quinze created a 12m high and 20m wide wooden architectural construction called 'The Traveller', displayed at the occasion of the opening of the new Louis Vuitton store in Munich. Quinze invite us to a journey, an enigmatic travel through this masterpiece of which roads leads us to a world of emotion and inspiration. 'The Traveller' catches vibes, like a seismograph, rendering visibility to the unbridled energy that forms the essence of everything.

2008年，Arne Quinze创建了一个高12米、宽20米的全木质建筑结构--“旅行者”。这件作品初次面世是在新慕尼黑的路易?威登专卖店开幕之际。Quinze的这件作品带领我们去了一次神秘的穿越之旅，让我们置身于一个涌动着情感和灵感的世界。“旅行者”就像一个地震仪，能够控制氛围，使构成一切事物本质的能量尽情发挥出来。

Rebirth by Arne Quinze

REBIRTH is a unique futuristic and provoking wooden sculpture by Arne Quinze for the well-known and distinguished five-star Paris hotel Le Royal Monceau on Avenue Hoche. (Which has played host to Ernest Hemingway, Walt Disney, Michael Jackson and Robert De Niro to name but a few.)

“重生”是Aren为巴黎赫哲族皇家大道上的著名五星级酒店Le Royal Monceau 所创作的一项独特的发人深省的木制装置艺术，（酒店曾接待过海明威，怀特·迪士尼，迈克尔·杰克逊和罗伯特·德·尼罗等等名人。）

Cities like open-air museums 如露天博物馆一般的城市

"Cities like open-air museums, sounds like realizing my ultimate dream; a confrontation with the public surrounded by art every day. Art has a positive effect on human beings and their personal development; it can extend their horizon and can broaden their view." 如露天博物馆一般的城市，这听上去放佛实现了我的最终梦想--与每天被艺术包围的大众产生思维的碰撞。艺术对人和人的个人发展是有积极作用的，艺术能够拓宽人们的视野，增长人们的见识。

Positive effect 积极作用当城市变成了露天博物馆，人们会觉得艺术是稀疏平常的一件事情，艺术是生活的一部分，对生活质量和整体幸福感都有着积极的作用。试图将消极的态度转变为积极的态度，确保人们不会不愿意与陌生人交谈，是人与人之间关系得到进步的基石。

Uchronia Nevada Desert, US September 16, 2006

A flood of people 涌向城市的人群不朽的艺术能够为城市实现的经济价值是不可估量的。人群涌入城市，因为他们有强烈的欲望去探索这惊人的雕塑。人们在那里小憩，边吃边喝，为这片区域提供了巨大的商机。通过城市与雕塑的碰撞，人们重新认识了自己的城市，也有了新的信念--他们以这样的城市为傲。艺术家们必须站出来，唤起这种碰撞。这样的城市行动对博物馆和文化机构来说有百利而无一害。

The economic value monumental art can realize for a city must not be underestimated. A flood of people is literally drawn towards the city because people have a desperate desire to explore the electrifying sculpture: they stay there for a while, eat and drink, offering great potential for the area. Through confrontation between city and sculptures people rediscover their city as well as renewed belief they‘re proud of their urban space. Artists absolutely must go out on the streets to evoke confrontation. Museums and cultural institutIons can only benefit from this urban action.

Patrick O'Reilly was born in 1957 in Kilkenny, a small town in Ireland. At the age of 17 he studied at the Art College of Belfast, but left after on year. He then decided to pursue his own artistic route, as he had been doing since childhood, by drawing and making objects. The first exhibition of his work took place in 1996 at the Galway Arts Festival. He previously thought his works were not worth being seen and was nervous showing them. Since then, his extraorinary work has been shaking up the world of fine art. He has not stopped creating three dimensional works. He has exhibuted througout Ireland, England, and Europe with major solo exhibitions in Dublin, Belfast, Berlin, London, Paris, Athens, Vienna, Brussels, Montreal, Marseilles and China. Driven by a sacred obligations, he expresses himself with total freedom and is a great power of creation. From mixed media to bronze, from bronze to a new high tech modeling materials regardless of the medium he uses, his sculptures are touching us deeply. You cannot stay unconcerned about these sculptural works. They are not the vehicle of philosophical thoughts or experiences, they reflect, in avery personal way, the feelings and emotions of Patrick O'Reilly who is always looking for new visual languages. This unique blend gives a kind of magic to his works which do not fall in any formal category.

Patrick O. 这种柳树纹样的设计我从小就在瓷盘、瓷瓶等上面看到，非常钟意。这是我当时唯一接触到的中国设计，或者说是我最早所认为的中国设计。我喜欢瓷器上面所印的图案，不管是树木、鸟儿，还是扁舟、小桥，都意境悠远。树木的枝叶是圆形的，团簇在一起，看上去像是球做成的。孩童时的我看到这些球状的树木，总感觉上面结满了果实，充满了美好的遐想也给了我无限的希望。所以我设计了这样一棵铜制的球状树木，不仅是缅怀我美好的孩童记忆，也同样希望将这一美好传播给每一个人。
