Rudy Willingham, Artist, Los Angeles

Description

This vertical artwork features a detailed human portrait sculpted entirely from various colors of chewed bubblegum. The central figure is depicted in profile with blue clothing, peach skin tones, and white and green hair details. The entire sculpture is mounted on a heavily textured reddish-brown brick wall that is completely encrusted with thousands of colorful discarded pieces of chewed gum, creating a dense mosaic effect. Natural ambient lighting highlights the glossy, tactile surfaces of the molded bubblegum medium. The piece showcases a unique street-art style created by artist Rudy Willingham.
