William SweetloveOstend, 1949°

William Sweetlove is a painter, sculptor and assemblage artist. He studied at the RNS in Ghent (1969-71) and received several distinctions, including the JPB Laureate (1975), the West Flanders Painting Prize (1976) and the European Painting Prize (1978).
Fascinated by fossils, memory and the preservation of the ephemeral, he has built a distinctive body of work in which everyday materials, polyester and recycled plastic acquire new meaning. His iconic animal figures and sculptures address themes such as consumption, plastic pollution, climate change, and shortages of water and food. Through humour, irony and an occasionally absurd visual language, Sweetlove explores contemporary social issues with both lightness and a sharp critical edge.
