Cherry Chewing Gum Framed Contemporary Pop Oil Painting with Sensual Abstraction

2022

About the Item

At Casa das Peritas, we present a curated selection of contemporary art from our artist-led space on the Galician coast. More than a gallery, we are a living community of creators committed to care, dialogue, and critical reflection. Each work we offer carries the intimacy and rigor of that shared vision. Cherry Chewing Gum is a framed contemporary oil painting by María Magán, part of her ongoing Chicles series. Executed with meticulous photorealistic technique, the work depicts a folded, glossy object in vibrant cherry red tones—evocative of chewed gum, yet drawn from the reimagined form of a used condom. The result is a sensual abstraction where humor, pleasure, and aesthetic refinement coexist in a bold visual language. This framed oil painting stands out for its technical precision, luminous finish, and sculptural presence. The crisp white background enhances the intensity of the crimson folds, while the carefully crafted black frame lends it a polished and exhibition-ready quality. The glossy surface, deep shadows, and intimate form invite close viewing, transforming a culturally charged object into an elegant icon of contemporary pop art. Magán’s Chicles series explores gender, intimacy, and taste through objects that blur the lines between desire and aversion. In Cherry Chewing Gum, the artist engages a queer visual language—playful, provocative, and ambiguous—where erotic material becomes aesthetic matter. The painting’s tactile quality and formal sophistication speak to a broader conversation around identity, transformation, and the politics of visibility. Ideal for collectors interested in queer aesthetics, pop conceptualism, or contemporary gender discourse, this piece functions as both a standalone artwork and part of a powerful visual statement. Framed and ready to hang, Cherry Chewing Gum brings together critical thought and visual pleasure in equal measure.
