On The Sprue Art – Part 6 – Entropa

The artist David Cerny has created this huge sculpture commissioned to represent the EU’s 27 member states. Each country is represented as a component of a giant plastic model kit. The piece has generated a fair amount of controversy due to its less than flattering representation of certain member states.

That Cerny should use an on the sprue art  motif is not surprising, given that he has used it previously in his  ARTWORK – SCULPTURES – KITS exhibition. That exhibition featured various 1:1 scale plastic model kits of “Eve”,  a “Rock Star”, “Jesus Christ” and an “Artist Standing”.

In fact he’s so found of the motif that it’s used in the menu and logo of his website.
