THE SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL EXHIBITION

“Small is beautiful, Miniature Art” is the first European exhibition to compile the work of 20 miniature artists and present their work to the general public. After the undisputed success of the #MiniatureArt phenomenon on social networks, the exhibition offers exclusive access to the magical and sometimes unusual worlds of some of the greatest artists in the movement.

“Small is beautiful, Miniature Art” is an incredible journey and a unique experience that offers behind-the-scenes access to small-scale universes full of artistry and poetry, whose only limit is the creative vision of their authors.

THE NEW PHENOMENON #MINIATUREART

In recent years, many artists from all over the world have been playing with scale and introducing us to a smaller way of seeing things, and awakening our inner child. Miniature art transports us to a poetic location, from an unexpected angle, where precision is essential.

On #MiniatureArt social media, artists like Slinkachu provoke the viewer. They regularly use the element of surprise and are followed by thousands/millions of people.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

What will I find during the “Small Is beautiful” exhibition in Paris?

“Small Is Beautiful” is a unique exhibition dedicated to miniature art, which brings together 20 artists from France and around the world.

What is miniature art?

Miniature art is an art form that plays with scale and perspective. It invites us to see the world differently and brings our childhood imagination back to life. Miniature art is extremely varied. Some artists transform already existing everyday objects, whereas others prefer to create their work from scratch, often by hand and with extreme precision.

Where does the experience take place?

The exhibition takes place at Galerie Joseph, 116 rue de Turenne, 75003 Paris, in the iconic Marais district. A playground for artists, the two floors of this former industrial workshop of over 850m2, renovated in 2013, are sure to immerse you in the world of miniature art.
