The Wee Tiny Gallery - London's Newest Art Hot-Spot for the Borrower Community
The Borrower community is agog with excitement. At last, they have The Wee Tiny Art Gallery on London’s Princelet Street, near Brick Lane: a space where people of their diminutive stature can admire fine art at reasonable prices. Who am I trying to kid? They’re going to borrow it, of course. Even so, it saves them from scaling enormous walls just to inspect a painting, and its contents are perfectly sized to fit into any cosy little niche at home. As you can imagine, queues are already forming. Image Credit
Flippancy aside, you would probably walk straight past it - zooming out shows you just how tiny it is. Created through a collaboration between McKay Lenker Bayer of the Tiny Art
Show, illustrator Holly Welch, and small-spaces builder and artist John
Connors, this miniature masterpiece is both a gallery and a work of art.
Showcasing Holly Welch’s exquisitely detailed miniatures within a beautifully
crafted structure, it is almost certainly the smallest art gallery in London
and the UK - and quite possibly the smallest in the world. We would ask a Borrower, but not one seems currently available for comment...
