Opening night, Friday 12 July
This wonderful annual exhibition showcases the art of the modern miniature and opens in Sydney tomorrow night (July 12, 2024). The aims of the Society are to create minature works of excellence, to foster traditional and modern techniques and to encourage public awareness and the enjoyment of miniature works of art. The works include a broad range including watercolour, oil, acrylic as well as drawing, printmaking, mixed media and 3D/sculptural works.
Size for a 2D work must not exceed a perimeter of 40cm and subjects must be created 'in minature' (not life size on a small piece of paper). 3D works cannot exceed 15cm in any direction. Books must be entirely handmade by the artist.
Although these requirements might sound restricting, the range and creativity of the art produced in this exhibition is amazing - it must be seen! So if you are in NSW during July come have a look. I have entered two small 3D works based on the 'Redhead' matchbooks. Here is a sample of one:
'Firetails' by Linda Weil.
Repurposed matchbox, brass and copper wire, polymer clay, acrylic paint, colour and graphite pencil on 300gsm hot press paper mounted on black painted wood. 9 x 8 x 3 cm.
