Joe Fig is a miniature master. The artist explores the working life of professional artists in diorama-like miniature reproductions of their studios, including those of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. Fig’s book Inside the Painter’s Studio (Princeton Architectural Press, 2009) includes his interviews with other artists about their creative processes, alongside images of his sculptures documenting their studio spaces. He will be talking about his work and showing his mini-masterpieces at the School of Visual Arts, where he received his BFA and MFA degrees.
Shown here (from top to bottom) the 11″ x 11″ x 9 1/2″ studios of Chuck Close, Eric Fischl, April Gornik, Mary Heilmann, and Ryan McGuiness. See all the studios here.
