Small World
The image of detail. Oil painting/ found plastic. The number of caps and size of the display can be variable, up to 150 caps available. Preferably displayed by attaching to the wall in a grid system to emphasize the directness of landscapes and hipnotysing effect of colourful caps.
Even not showing any trace of human presence miniature landscape paintings placed in standardized plastic bottle caps juxtapose contemporary consumer lifestyles with man's historically romantic relationship with nature. The work aims to address the individual's sense of belonging to specific place as well as question
global ecological issues.
These small landscapes in contemporary frame could have been intended for looking at when seized by a vague feeling of necessity to escape from urban environment. Conceptually miniature scale could be regarded as a reference to the shrinking space of untouched nature. The small scale of the paintings engages the viewer in
a close examination and the scene of nature like anything paid close look at can open itself to reveal a secret life, a narrativity and history outside the given field of perception.
