May 21st, 2017: Micro-Art
Hasan Kale is described as a micro-artist. I think I’d call him a mini-artist compared to the people who put The Lords Prayer on
the head of a pin, or carve a whole train in a pencil lead. But semantics aside, he paints very small pictures in great detail, and he’s damn good. Quote:
are impermanent, like a pumpkin seed, a half of an almond, an M&M, or gooey candy? Is it showing off? Is it demonstrating the possibilities? Or does he just love to create? There’s no way he can profit from painting the white "Stuff" in an Oreo or on his wrist. As a matter of fact, if a Russian Billionaire takes a shine to that wrist painting, he better wash it off right quick. link

Quoting:
There’s no way he can profit from painting the white "Stuff" in an Oreo or on his wrist. Commissions. In this day and age, photos like those on the Net will probably garner him a lot of attention and some lucrative commission requests. And we all know creative goes with crazy anyway. One of the vendors at the gem show that's been occupying my life for the last 4 days is selling slabs of landscape jasper with actual landscape elements painted in--brush, flowers, cowboys. Most of the slabs are no bigger than six inches in their longest dimension, so not as small as this guy, but if there's an art idea out there someone will do it. The butterflies reminded me of what I thought the headline would be about: back in the 1800s "microscope art" was a huge fad. Rich people built tiny pictures out of diatom shells and single scales from butterfly wings directly on microscope slides, and some of those slides still survive. |

Also, this fella seems to really be into nautical scenes. Most of the architecture suggests roughly Middle Eastern historic, but 7 of the images shown have ships in water.

What good are paintings only 5% of the world population can actually see?
I guess this is how he sticks it to those money grubbing art suppliers. |

What good is any size painting if it hangs in your house and only 0.000000005% of the world can actually see it? It's a personal thing, you own it and only people you want get to see it.
