Ben Wilson

For the second time, the Musée Visionnaire invited Ben Wilson, the Chewing Gum Man from London, to Zurich.
From 13 to 17 June, he restored the chewing gums he had painted back in 2019, some of which had been damaged over time… and of course he also painted some new ones, transforming the flattened blobs of discarded chewing gum on the sidewalks of Zurich into wonderful miniature paintings. Go and discover the spots of color amid the gray asphalt!

 

And for all those who are curious about the stories behind the miniatures and don’t want to look for the chewing gum themselves first, we offer guided Ben Wilson tours through the Niederdorf for up to 25 people. More information at info@museevisionnaire.ch.
