SHOP MINIATURISTS OF MALAYSIA SOMETIMES, GREAT THINGS COMES IN SMALL SIZES. LOVE IT AS AN ART DISPLAY OR FLAUNT IT AS AN ACCESSORY, THESE ARTISTS HAVE MASTERED THE KNACK OF MAKING EVERY INCH COUNTS. Text JESSY WONG • Photos DIORAMA, PICOWORM & TINYPINC A piece of miniature art is basically anything that can be held in the palm of the hand. These small sculptures or objects are more often than not a replica of the reality, scaled down to the smallest size imaginable. Dating back millenniums ago, miniature art or painting can be traced as a collector’s hobby to gather miniature paintings, drawings and sculptures. Although it is not common, the miniature trend has been timeless. Perhaps, the most popular miniature art that the masses can relate to is a dollhouse. Well that, is about to change. Contemporary miniaturists of Malaysia show their love for the country by remaking their favourite childhood memories, creating culture, forming foods and constructing buildings. They never missed anything down to the tiny little bits of details and it will make one to fall in love with all things Malaysian, again. EDDIE PUTERA A veteran artist on Malaysian grounds, Eddie Putera, is an expert in the business of art from painting, sculpting and photography for as long as 20 years. Pre-armed with skills and natural talent., he ventured into diorama and miniature art that he calls “an extension of my visual stories from 2D to 3D”. Eddie’s work resonates with most Malaysians as he is keen to built based on memories of things from the past. He wishes his art could be a historical archive for the future generations. “I try to replicate the materials and the effect of weather on buildings, vehicle and landscape so that they be as realistic as possible. That is why [my creation has] the rust and rustic look.” Also a frequent traveller, Eddie takes his references from his collection of pictures as an inspiration to create. “It takes from 4-8 weeks for me to complete my projects. And I could be working on 3-4 projects at the same time.” His proudest project so far is a diorama he did on the story of successful people from Malaysia; which was filmed into a 3-minute short movie for Independence Day. Eddie works on commission basis and his collection are also available purchase on his website. GET IT ONLINE AT G www.epvisualarts.com @eddieputera WWW.<strong>GOASIAPLUS</strong>.COM · 29
