Mini Masterpiece Exhibition

Over 100 miniature canvases from 40+ local & International artists

Big names and small artworks make up this bite-sized collection debuting to the public at Brisbane’s cutting edge artist-run space The Fort Arts Hub in Fortitude Valley from 11 – 23 June 2010.

With a huge line up of artists working on tiny canvases, the mini masterpieces show promises to be a lot of fun and an absolute eye-full for observers in what is sure to be one of the largest mini exhibition Brisbane has ever seen.

Curator & displaying artist Yuin Huz has spent the past few months spreading the word and extending invitation to dozens of top-shelf artists of all styles and backgrounds to participate in this novel show.

“It’s about bringing artists together and giving them an opportunity to showcase their talent, which is what The Fort’s all about” Yuin Huz says,

“Many of the artists were expecting to paint to a particular theme, but I think as long it’s on a miniature canvas on a tiny little easel it will fit with the rest of the work. That is the theme!”

“I try to think up creative, unusual themes for each show I curate. Although it’s been a lot of work to coordinate, the mini masterpieces show seemed like a great way to bring together and expose a whole host of emerging talent alongside established artists. It also gives art buyers the opportunity to snap up amazing pieces for under $100.”

The Mini Masterpieces exhibition features a great diversity of emerging artists as well as rising stars like Steve Bowerman, Shida, Sofles, Georg, Saikoe, RudeKat, Guido, Carmen Olsen, Benny Gloucester and many, many others.
