Chewing Gum Man
Paint-installation / Ben Wilson
Most people know artist Ben Wilson for his thousands of miniature paintings on discarded pieces of chewing gum. Often carrying personal messages or meanings suggested by people he happens to meet, the ‘gum pics’ have amazed and delighted pedestrians in London since he began creating them in 2004. Ben works in a consciously spontaneous way, allowing each artwork to evolve from its place and its time.
Ben will be creating a series of miniature artworks on chewing gum around Halle for the duration of the festival that reveal the unseen and microscopic parts of our world. Keep your eyes out for his artworks and if you see him come and say hello!
At all locations of the festival.
