silverplated bronze with paint // William Sweetlove's Cloned Bronze Marmot with Bottle (2011) is a whimsical and thought-provoking bronze sculpture that combines elements of environmental awareness with a touch of humor. This silver-plated marmot is adorned with blue paint dripping down its face and front, which contrasts sharply with the polished metallic surface. Equipped with a water bottle strapped to its back, the marmot embodies Sweetlove’s commentary on climate change, resource scarcity, and adaptation. This piece, part of a limited edition of 8, aligns with Sweetlove’s distinctive approach of outfitting animals with survival accessories, suggesting the need for preparation in a changing environment. The sculpture invites viewers to reflect on humanity’s impact on nature and the potential for resilience in the animal kingdom.

What is the Cracking Art Group?
This Italian art movement includes artists from Italy, Belgium, and France who are known for creating public installations using recyclable plastic to craft massive animal sculptures. The artwork explores the rupture between the synthetic and natural worlds, with the plastic construction symbolizing the synthetic, and the animal forms representing the natural world.
