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.

  • XOX Attitude Red Black 1/10 - graphic, pop-art, figurative, resin sculpture
    By Viktor Mitic
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    Playful, colourful and imaginative, Viktor Mitic’s latest series of table-top sculptures appear to merge pop art with science fiction. The colour palette is fun and bright—yellow, red, black and turquoise. These 3-D figures began as digital creations, sculpted out of resin and painted. Their form was initially inspired by the towering abstract sculptures Mitic produced from images of paint splashes on his studio floor. Edition one of ten. “This character has emerged from a shadow of one of my sculptures (as in the video) I have always been a fan of science as well as science fiction writing and movies and for me, X-O-X is a being that came out of a technological world , possibly from another galaxy.” Viktor Mitic “As an icon, or hybrid worthy Viktor Mitic- X-O-X has a synthetic, playful identity. It’s culturally a fusion of influences brought together in one formal public sculpture.” John K. Grande, author, poet, essayist He earned a BFA from the University of Toronto in 1995 with studies in art history at Sheridan College. He has exhibited his post-Pop inspired...
