Look carefully. Held by British artist Willard Wigan is not just a needle. These works of art, to be exact: the art micro. At the head of the needle is no small FIFA World Cup.
To the naked eye, it can not be seen. Wigan works new life under a microscope. Not surprisingly, homemade sculptures measuring only about 0.005 millimeters.
Direct comparison shows, how little miniature works of Wigan. The golden ship can pass through the pinhole without problems. In Hamburg, Museum für Kunst und in Gewerbe Willard Wigan is exhibiting 20 of his best - certainly under the microscope. Contrary to other artists, the works of Wigan had a big advantage, because it can be placed in the pocket.
Homes for Ants
Ants wake Wigan awe of all that is small. At school she had a lot of problems, says the artist, who was born in 1957. Since birth he suffered caused abnormalities can not learn quickly. As a result he is always the victim of ridicule. So Wigan creates his own world in a miniature size. For ant-semutnya he set up a small house, complete with furniture.
That places an obsession, it is clear artists. Plus long added a small statue, like coffee painting of the Last Supper of Leonardo da Vinci. A Bible verse has always been a contender for him. "It's easier camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Little things can mean big. That you want to show Wigan through his work.
