chewing gum sculpture - What’s up with that?

bearingum_1.jpg
Maurizio Savini’s mind-damaging sculptures are bizarrely pink and possess a disturbing level of detail. Are these works a comment on our culture’s voracious appetite for all things pink, be it a jug of Pepto, a fistful of Pink Twinkies or a gaping maw of Bazooka Bubblegum, or simply a skilled artist working with an offbeat medium? The raw material hasn’t been chewed so it doesn’t qualify as recycled but it certainly is re-purposed. Behold.
