The exhibition project, edited by Serge Victoriaaccompanies the public to discover a miniature world where daily actions take place on human-scale objects and can only be appreciated through powerful magnifying glasses.
The meticulous care and the finest details that distinguish all the works transform packets of crisps into unexplored caves, watermelons into tennis courts, shoelaces into sea monsters and puddles into wild oases, giving life to a universe halfway between reality and reality. ‘imagination.
The “Small is Beautiful” exhibition in Milan. Word to the curator Serge Victoria
“The exhibition was born from social networks, where hundreds of miniature artists share their creations. The hashtag MiniatureArt has over 870,000 publications on Instagram,” explains ad Artribune the curator of the exhibition Serge Victoria. “We therefore wanted to bring together for the first time artists from all over the world, working in different fields of miniature art (from paper art to hyper-realistic dioramas), and allow these types of works to be recognized as art forms from the public. We wanted to share with the world the beauty of miniature art and show that it can make us laugh and think.”
A project that has achieved great success in the exhibition field, but what forms will it take in the future? “The prospects for Small is Beautiful are bright and we have lots of ideas,” continues the curator. “A miniature restaurant or bar, a permanent shop and museum, immersive virtual reality experiences – the possibilities are many and the inspiration is great! Miniature art is small in size, but far from insignificant.”
