Micro Art Masterpiece: Gold Fits Through Needle Eye!
8 Nov
Summary
- Adrian Thompson crafts intricate micro-art from gold.
- Each tiny artwork takes up to a year to complete.
- Pieces are displayed at Bodmin's Discovering 42 museum.
Artist Adrian Thompson is pushing the boundaries of micro-art by crafting intricate sculptures from gold that are small enough to fit through the eye of a needle. Thompson, who works in Par, views his art as a personal challenge to explore his creative limits. He meticulously customizes watchmaker's tools or creates his own to manipulate the minuscule materials.
His artistic journey began with transforming a fallen gold dental filling into an angel. Now, his portfolio includes pieces like a Ferrari horse on a matchstick and the Aston Villa lion logo, demonstrating remarkable precision. These works are set to be displayed at Bodmin's Discovering 42 science museum in December, offering the public a chance to marvel at his tiny creations.
