Miniture Worlds

I love the effect of these Tiny Cement Sculptures created by Isaac Cordal from London. I would love to do a similar thing. Although the cement gives a strong meaning about human detachment to the environment, you could create some effective photography using toys.





Another artist, Slinkachu, has a similar idea with his Little People Project. Combining sculpture, street art installation and photography, he has painted and altered the tiny model railway people and positioning them in the city streets. This comments on the vastness and loneliness of the city as well as creating a humorous view. Afterwards he leaves the people to be lost on the streets forever not knowing what their fate becomes.

Also similar to Matthew Carden's work, using food:



Or Vincent Bousserez who also comments on the vastness and fragility of the world and nature to create miniature stories.

Another photography artist, Samsofy, creates similar humorous images using Lego figurines and everyday objects and spaces. "He combines the techniques of photography, street art, modeling, and installation to convey his messages, which often mix politics, humor, and poetry."

Another street and commercial artists who creates a similar meaning of familiar into new is Joe Iurato who uses layers of hand cut paper and spray paint to create small figures and places them in interesting places to create a narration of his life story. 'However big or small, the works are often created in public spaces and left to interact with the environment and community', representing stages of his life. Once again, I love the interaction between the drawn people and real life and the interest it creates with the mall figures creating a familiar but new world.
