This is chewing gum art that was created by artist Ben Wilson. While most people think chewing gum on the street is disgusting, the chewing gum artist certainly makes a decorative statement with it. Ben Wilson (born 1963) is an English wood carver and outside artist. The son of an artist, Wilson grew up in a creative environment and attended art school. His distaste for industrial waste, cars and rubbish eventually turned into an art form. He creates tiny works of art by painting chewing gum stuck to the pavement. In addition to the chewing gum art, Wilson paints and sculpts. He has exhibited his paintings and sculptures in England, the United States, Germany, Ireland, Finland and France.
