Polyurethane painted black // William Sweetlove's Cloned Black Elephant with Watercans (2010-2011) is a striking mixed-media sculpture that portrays a life-sized black elephant with a water canister attached to its side. Made from painted polyurethane, this artwork belongs to Sweetlove's ecological-themed series that emphasizes environmental concerns, particularly water scarcity. The elephant, symbolizing strength and resilience, becomes a carrier of water, underscoring the vital role of conservation and resource management. Sweetlove’s choice of a cloned animal reflects his commentary on genetic modification and humanity's impact on nature. Measuring 190 cm in height, 250 cm in length, and 126 cm in depth, the sculpture is both an impressive and thought-provoking statement on sustainability and human responsibility toward the environment.
