About the Item

Cherry Chewing Gum is a framed photorealistic pop art painting by María Magán, part of her Chicles series. Created in oil on canvas, the work depicts a folded, glossy red object floating against a clean white background. At once sculptural and symbolic, the crimson form evokes a piece of chewed gum, though its origin lies in the reimagined shape of a used condom. Through technical precision and conceptual restraint, Magán transforms this intimate, disposable object into a striking visual artifact. The painting’s rich tonal range and sharp lighting create the illusion of inflated softness, while the reflective surface mimics latex and plasticity. Framed in matte black wood, the composition acquires the quality of an isolated icon—an object at once tactile, ambiguous, and meditative. The contrast between the visceral form and the sterile background heightens the work’s emotional tension, inviting reflection on desire, shame, and aesthetic distance. As with all works in the Chicles series, Cherry Chewing Gum blurs the line between erotic materiality and minimalist clarity. It draws on the visual codes of pop culture while addressing themes of gender, visibility, and symbolic transformation. This medium-sized oil painting is ideal for collectors interested in contemporary figuration, feminist abstraction, and pieces that integrate humor, tension, and conceptual depth.
