Chewing Gum Sculptures


Italian artist Maurizio Savini uses a strange material for his creations - pink chewing gum or as it's called in Italy 'American gum.'

The sensual act of chewing, the voluptuous warmth of rebelling saliva, the artificial and secretly aseptic fragrance which spreads from the mouth as a promise and missed kiss.

The synthetic fleshliness of the pink color, the obsessive square shape of the product unwrapped and ready to be shred to pieces by the power of the tongue, all compete in crashing on the senses.
