William Sweetlove's sculpture Sunday Handbag in recycled bronze, showing a handbag with wine bottle, leaves, and cactus on a plinth.

Recycled bronze - stand size: 45x40x40cm - handbag size: 40x35x25 - total weight: 60kg // Sunday Handbag by William Sweetlove is a bronze sculpture that playfully subverts everyday objects with a touch of surrealism. This metallic piece features a detailed handbag resting atop a sturdy plinth, its surface gleaming with the refined finish of recycled bronze. Emerging from the bag are unconventional items, including a wine bottle, large leaves, and a tall cactus, transforming the handbag into a vessel of unexpected contents. Sweetlove’s work often addresses themes of consumerism and environmental awareness, and Sunday Handbag appears to suggest a narrative around modern lifestyles and material culture, perhaps critiquing or celebrating the eccentricities of human behavior. The contrasting elements of nature and consumer goods in this 60 kg sculpture create a sense of irony and contemplation.

What is Kitsch?

Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
