About the Item

Salted Gum I is a framed oil painting by María Magán that reimagines a used condom as a translucent, crumpled piece of chewing gum. Painted in oil on canvas with high-precision technique, this small-format artwork plays with optical illusion, bodily memory, and material ambiguity. The soft folds, glossy surface, and semi-transparent texture give the object a seductive physical presence—somewhere between candy, latex, and sculptural abstraction. Set against a clean white ground and framed in matte black wood, the piece isolates the form as a discrete visual object. The result is a symbolic painting that elevates an intimate, disposable material into a contemplative aesthetic element. Magán’s approach balances photorealistic execution with conceptual minimalism, inviting the viewer to reflect on beauty, discomfort, and reinterpretation. Part of the artist’s Chicles series, Salted Gum I engages in a broader exploration of erotic signifiers, taste, and contemporary femininity. The work reframes materials typically seen as private or undesirable into polished visual metaphors—subtle, tactile, and charged with layered meaning. It is a compelling choice for collectors interested in pop formalism, sensual abstraction, and art that subverts cultural codes through visual precision.
