Ben Wilson (artist)

Ben Wilson (artist)

Ben Wilson is a London based artist who creates tiny works of art by painting onto chewing gum stuck to the pavement.

Wilson started experimenting with occasional chewing-gum paintings in 1998, and in October 2004 began working on them full time.

Wilson's work has been featured by the media, including the BBC, "This Is Local London", and "Raw Vision". Two short documentary films have also been made about Wilson.
