This December we present a collection of miniatures inspired by the miniatures of Hilliaird & Oliver, which were exhibited in Elizabethan Treasures at the National Portrait Gallery last year. The Miniaturists presents artworks that are either 7.5 cm square and two dimensional in format, or miniature sculptures – the perfect gift this Christmas!
We are overwhelmed by our artists’ response; some have spent more time creating a miniature than a full size work or rather have regarded the miniature in exactly the same terms as a large scale work. We are, as ever, indebted to all the artists who responded to the brief with such enthusiasm and detail; for many, making a miniature has given birth to new ideas and directions.
The Miniaturists features work from:
Jo Barker, Sara Brennan, David Cook, Stephanie Dees, Matthew Draper, Philip Eglin, Joe Fan, Archie Forrest, Linda Green, Martin Greenland, Ian Howard, Jane Keith, Alex Knubley, Frances Macdonald, Christine McArthur, Calum McClure, Alison McGill, Campbell Sandilands, Arran Semple.
