About Maureen Quin (By Virginia Reid, 2014)

"Maureen Quin is a deeply passionate and emotionally engaged artist. South African Art and the South African viewing public are the richer for the insightful and thematically relevant quality of her works. 

Her sculptures transcend and penetrate the surface of social reality; they explore and celebrate the irreducible particularity of all existence, both animate and inanimate (Professor Bert Olivier, 1995).

Her art is deeply explored and deeply intelligent; it dislocates our preconceived beliefs and at times jars us from our comfortable concepts of societal norm. Quins works at various instances delight and warn; they make the familiar questioned and at times leave one with sorrow or discomfit.  They are alive with volumes and eloquent voids; they are visually challenging and harmonious they beg pondering, which is precisely what she wishes the public to do. " 

The magnificent sculpture on offer is called Mother and Child and is a stunning piece of investment art! In this bronze sculpture it is evident that the parent figure has become hardened by the pressures of life, protecting their young. The child is untouched, and is described as softer and idealistic.
