Joe’s Little World

Here is another unusual and fantastic use of polymer that Susan Lomuto, the blogger behind the Daily Art Muse blog, dug up back in 2014.

Talk about mixing media … Joe Fig’s very detailed miniature studios are created from polymer clay and myriad other materials and portray the work of a variety of artists. Not only do these works show the versatility of polymer but they show off the artwork of painters, printers and other artists using this medium that we love so much.

There is not much more to say, since his work says so much already, so I’m going to leave you to jump over to the blog post for this or to go see what Joe is up to these days by going to his website. You might also be interested in his books, where he interviews artists about their studio and how they work as artists. The 2009 book,  Inside the Painters Studio, includes all these dioramas he made. Enjoy!
