About the Item

This wall-mounted pop object sculpture by María Magán features dozens of hand-molded chewing gum-like elements crafted in polyvinyl silicone, a material commonly used in dental practices for taking precise impressions due to its high fidelity and elastic memory. Here, the artist repurposes this clinical compound to model soft, fleshy forms that recall chewed gum or biological residue, installing them across a pastel-painted wooden frame that defines the perimeter of a blank white canvas. The accumulation of these silicone forms, each derived from casts of reinterpreted condoms, introduces a layered visual metaphor that fuses humor, eroticism, and aesthetic restraint. The dense arrangement along the upper and lateral edges suggests both containment and overflow, while the hollow center leaves room for projection, silence, or interruption. The pastel green, blue, and neutral tones soften the anatomical references, turning objects of aversion into sculptural ornamentation. Part of the artist’s Chicles series, the work explores themes of taste, intimacy, and transformation through symbolic materials. It merges the languages of minimalist assemblage and conceptual pop, offering a highly tactile and visually dissonant meditation on what is hidden, rejected, or repurposed within contemporary visual culture.

Mixed-Media Wall Sculpture foam clay, acrylic enamel on wood. "In a While"
By Vera Vizzi
Located in FISTERRA, ES
IN A WHILE (2025) is a small-scale, wall-mounted mixed-media sculpture by Vera Vizzi that transforms a familiar domestic object into a sculptural encounter. Hand-modeled in foam clay and applied onto a compact wooden block (25 x 9 x 10 cm), the work is finished with layered acrylic paint and enamel marker decoration along the extruded “tube” form. The piece foregrounds tactile surface, color contrast (white base with red/yellow graphic motifs) and a vertical, relief-like silhouette that reads equally as objet d’art or a focused accent on a gallery wall. Conceptually the work frames an everyday action — squeezing a tube — as a compressed temporal event: small gestures that compress time and meaning. Keywords for search and contextualisation: mixed media on wood, foam clay sculpture, enamel and acrylic, wall sculpture, small contemporary sculpture...
