Arne Quinze designed a series of sculptures called “Rock Strangers” for the city of Ostend. These unusual sculptures are located in surprising places, such as the renovated Zeeheldenplein, an iconic location in the city, where they appear to have been washed up by the waves. Their bright orange color creates a striking contrast with their natural surroundings, creating a surprising visual effect.

Who is Arne Quinze?
Arne Quinze, an artist born in Belgium on December 15, 1971, is famous for his imposing wooden structures installed in public spaces. Based in Laethem-Saint-Martin in the Flemish Region, he began his artistic career in the 1980s by creating graffiti, without having studied art formally. His works are characterized by the use of various types of wood, including recycled materials, electric colors for fluorescent paints, and themes focused on social interaction and communication.
