It’s been a while since we checked in with London-based artist Slinkachu, a favorite artist working with tiny scale figures and scenes. It seems that the ethos of Littleland has taken a turn for the political, perhaps echoing that which befalls upon the life sized world of Slinkachu? The artist did a few new series this year, the first being Stroll, a new print, depicting a fallen miniman in the snow at Moscow’s Gorky Park. 3 new scenes were created for a British Music Experience exhibition celebrating charity War Child, depicting the effects of war which the non profit works globally to alleviate. Most recently, the artist has been at work in Paris, placing and shooting scenes around the City of Lights in support of ReAct Paris, a conference to tackle the problems of unemployment in Europe, particularly youth unemployment. These little guys seem awfully altruistic considering how daunting it must be to be so tiny!
