Cracking Art Group

First, I saw their work at 21c Museum Hotel with the Red Penguin installation. So, I looked into them a little more and found all kinds of exhibitions they've executed with sizable plastic animals juxtaposed in natural environments. The group of artists, called the Cracking Art Group, established the Cracking Art Movement in 1983. Their installations display the "relationship between natural life and artificial reality". My personal favorite - the golden turtles.

I find that I am drawn to ideas. Whether they are brilliant, simple, or aesthetically beautiful (to my eyes), they tend to be other people’s ideas. I have much respect for people who have the vulnerability to bring their ideas to life. My first internal reaction is often envy, but then it becomes gratitude – and gratefulness for a creator that enables people to bring to life the ideas that He gives them. Occasionally though, one of those ideas is my own. They don’t come often, but when they do, no matter how small or insignificant they may be, I am humbled and inspired. This is a place for me to exhibit those ideas, mostly others – sometimes my own.
