Original Melting Pops™
by BETSY ENZENSBERGER
These are one-of-a-kind, hand-sculpted pieces.
Each sculpture is signed, and dated on bottom.
Jenna Morello x Betsy Enzensberger
This collaborative sculpture was created by me and Brooklyn-based muralist Jenna Morello. I sculpted the melting pop and then sent it to Jenna to paint. Jenna created this matte-finish masterpiece with a custom, brushed-aluminum stick. One look at this sculpture and your heart will melt.
Approximately 20" tall x 8.5" x 8.5" / 51 cm x 21.5 cm x 21.5 cm
Only one available
Jenna Morello says it takes only 2 to 3 days for her to complete one of her large-scale mural works, not wanting to invest too much of herself into pieces that are transitional. “That’s how street art is, you work pretty quickly. If I put in a crazy amount of time into something and someone comes and tags over it…I know that it’s art that can rotate…,” and might be covered or altered.
Betsy Enzensberger founded the Original Melting Pops™ in 2016. She specializes in creating larger-than-life resin art works, sculpting a variety of ice cream art, most notably melting popsicle pop art. Her shape stays true to the ice cream, yet the design elements continue to evolve.
Betsy Enzensberger is a Southern California-based pop artist who is known for her whimsical resin sculptures. Her flagship Original Melting Pops™ series has had international recognition and acclaim. She has exhibited with galleries domestically in Los Angeles, Miami, Des Moines, Dallas, Charlotte, and New York, and internationally in Hong Kong, London, Stockholm, Belgium, Hamburg, Singapore, and Byron Bay. Her current public installations can be viewed at Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, several ships within the Royal Caribbean cruise line fleet, and the Delta Sky Club at Los Angeles International Airport. I have always been inspired by the universal recognition of the frozen treats that bring joy to people worldwide. The sizes, shapes, and flavors of these treats vary depending on culture, but they bring smiles to people just the same. It is my intention to spark joy and inspire nostalgia by utilizing the unifying form of the ice pop. If I can connect with someone across the world over a simple thing like an ice pop, then I feel like I have created a sense of unity and positive connection. Why are they melting? This element begs for the sculptures to be rescued. Once saved from impending doom, the sculpture is then coveted in its partially melted form. The perfectly imperfect half melted sculpture is the epitome of the series title “Tragically Sweet.”As a medium, resin has allowed me to bring life to my sculptures with a juxtaposition of rich colors, textures, opacity, and translucency. However, in recent months I made the difficult decision to remove resins from my practice. These materials are extremely toxic to work with and my health is now my priority. So, moving forward I will continue to work in various stones and bronze, which I've already begun to master.Born and raised in New York, Betsy graduated from Tulane University’s fine arts program and apprenticed with the renowned sculptor Eric Johnson in Los Angeles. She now resides and creates in Palm Springs, CA.
