Elizabeth Art Candy

Fake Marshmallow Series. "Red". Vibrant Contemporary Pop Art Sculpture in Clay

2024

‘Confetti, Marshmallow and Bubblegum’, these are the elements through which Elizabeth Art Candy (Verona, 1980) reinterprets the icons of our time: comic strips, cartoons, objects, images that take us back to other memories, not forgetting the fashion universe in which she has worked for years. Elizabeth, inspired by the tradition of Pop culture, manages to transform these clay candies into precious tesserae capable of giving life to works-mosaics, plastic and animated, where light slips into the hollows and fissures to create original volumetries, mixing techniques, materials and genres, modifying their function and exhorting us to see things in a new way. Reflection on the world around her and on the importance of creativity is a fundamental part of this artist's life, a conscious choice capable of summarising the childlike part that lies within each of us, but which we often forget, with the intention of bringing back ‘sweet memories’.
