about the collective

Cracking Art Group, a collective of artists from Italy, France, and Belgium, creates public installations of massive sculptural animals made from brightly colored recyclable plastic. Founded in 1993, the group sees its work as an ethical necessity in the face of environmental degradation.

The collective’s name “Cracking Art” comes from the English verb “to crack”, which expresses the state of being split, broken, cracked, or crashed.

This catalytic cracking, as the name suggests, is also the term for the chemical reaction that occurs when converting raw crude oil into plastic. For the artists, it represents the instant when something natural becomes artificial and is the reason why they seek to seize that very moment in their art form.
