'The ‘toposphere' sits at the interface of the pedosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere'. - Marc Quinn The richly punning title not only evokes the life-giving atmospheric layer surrounding the planet, but also the Greek word meaning both place and theme, and the 3rd-century Greek symbolic concept of life emanating from the centre, in a series of concentric spheres. Quinn's original 2009 Iris paintings were subtitled 'We share our chemistry with the stars', and the Iris series reflects his abiding theme in his work that, as humans, we are materially connected to everything else, extending to the universe itself. Quinn chose a digital printing technique for this piece to achieve its vibrant and varying high-definition colours. Each image is printed on 330gsm Somerset Satin Enhanced paper, and hand-finished with a silkscreen printed glaze.
