Presented by Bedford Gallery
September 30, 2023 - December 17, 2023

Bits + Pieces: Contemporary Art on a Small Scale explores the cultural phenomenon of miniature things. From teacup dogs and ships in a bottle, to tiny dinner tables set with a feast, fascination with pint-sized items has endured the test of time. The featured artists work in micro and small-scale, creating intricate paintings, sculpture, ceramics, and installations in direct opposition to their standard-sized counterparts. With a focus on minute, precise details, this exhibition celebrates the quirky anomaly that permeates our world.

Artwork:

(above) Lisa Swerling, The Night Job, 2007, mixed media sculpture, 8 x 12 x 3 inches
(calendar) Laura Critchlow, Silver Water Vessel, 2023, acrylic paint, 2.5 x 4 inches
