2022
About the Item
This playful and nostalgic piece from the Fake Candies series captures the spirit of mid-century joy through a hand-modeled 3D gumball machine, composed entirely of colorful clay “candies.” Crafted using natural clay spheres, low-temperature fired and meticulously arranged, this sculpture brings to life one of the most iconic images of 1950s Italian popular culture: the vintage coin-operated candy dispenser.
Standing on a wooden base, the artwork’s vibrant surface features a spectrum of hand-colored candy beads, forming a cheerful explosion of color and form. From the bright yellow base to the transparent globe packed with multicolored sweets, every element recalls the simple gesture of turning a crank for a surprise, evoking childhood wonder and the universal pleasure of small rituals.
Elizabeth Art Candy's work reinterprets pop culture objects through tactile, sculptural mosaics, transforming them into contemporary icons. Candy Machine Yellow is both a sculptural homage and a sensory celebration, perfect for collectors who appreciate humor, nostalgia, and high craftsmanship.

Elizabeth Art Candy
‘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’.
