William Sweetlove
Gold Cloned Penguin With Petbottle

About the Item

William Sweetlove unites dadaism with surrealism and pop art in humoristic sculptures that at first sight may seem “kitschy”. However, closer familiarity with his works reveals their role as a creative antidote to the overproduction and over consumption of our society. With his cloned animals William Sweetlove calls for greater ecological awareness and urges us to reflect on the consequences of the climate change challenging humanity- the penguins carry water bottles since we are running out of drinking water. This large gold sculpture is a major presence in any room.
