About the Item
Mint Gum is a contemporary pop acrylic painting that reimagines a used condom as a chewed piece of green gum—folded, glossy, and isolated on a blank white canvas. This work belongs to María Magán’s Chicles series, which explores the intersection of sexuality, humor, and visual language through the symbolic transformation of discarded objects. Executed in acrylic on canvas, Mint Gum combines the sharp precision of photorealism with the conceptual framework of pop art, creating a green-toned painting that evokes both taste and touch.
The crumpled, sculptural form is painted with careful attention to light, reflection, and surface texture, achieving a tactile illusion that oscillates between abstraction and recognition. The vibrant green palette adds a layer of freshness, irony, and visual impact, aligning the work with themes of erotic abstraction, playful materiality, and body politics. While suggestive in origin, the painting subverts direct narrative, focusing instead on aesthetic form, ambiguity, and reinterpretation.
As a part of the broader Chicles series, Mint Gum can be read within contemporary discourses on gender, taste, and cultural codes. The series plays with the boundaries between the intimate and the visible, turning objects of aversion into polished, curated surfaces of visual inquiry. This mid-size painting is both conceptually rigorous and visually engaging—ideal for collectors interested in symbolic painting, contemporary feminist discourse, and interiors that welcome layered meaning with minimalist presence.
