Biography
William Sweetlove was born in 1949 in Ostende, Belgium. Since 2003 he has been a member of the artists’ collective “The Cracking Art Group” in northern Italy.
As the physical medium that provides the basis for their works of art, the members use a type of plastic produced via a thermo-chemical reaction in crude oil. This reaction, known as “cracking” is also the origin of the group’s name. In their manifesto the Cracking Art Group call upon their members to spread a vision of the world suffused with elements of irony and ecological awareness.
To those, William Sweetlove adds the conviction that art must also be an antidote to overconsumption and overproduction. His paintings, sculptures and assemblages are his impressions of existence reproduced in materials such as polyester, animal hides and textiles. William Sweetlove shapes his own world.
