Bubblegum Art


Jason Kronenwald, a graduate of Queens University with a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts, is an emerging artists based in Toronto, where he produces his Gum Blonde Chewing Gum Portraits. Jason smooths chewed gum over plywood, creating realistic skin tones and hair colour, composing his palette from the multitude of different flavours and colors chewed together.

The appeal of his portraits stretch across a wide audience, from some of Canada's top collectors, including TD Waterhouse, to popular culture publications such as this years Ripley's Believe it or Not.

    Whoa, holy crud those look too good to be bubblegum. I seriously hope GumBlondes was an intentional play on words and not a goofy mistake...
