Danielle Mysliwiec Tiny Painting

gather, miniature (red) is a 4 by 3 inch oil painting in which the red paint is extruded in such a way that it appears to be a loosely woven textile or basket, an effect enhanced by a diagonal ripple or ridge in the surface connecting to the lower left corner of the canvas-wrapped panel. the links of paint along the ridge are looser, less systematic, like a braid in some places, and around the edge of the painting, loose points of paint protrude like little anemones or spikes. by danielle mysliwiec from her insta

I would not say a sucker for any tiny painting. But maybe that’s like how, all evidence to the contrary, I don’t think I’m a dog painting guy, either.

Anyway, Danielle Mysliwiec just posted this gorgeous little painting to her Instagram. She made it for Barely Fair last year in Chicago. The work’s title, Gather, is perhaps a reference to the undulation in the painting’s surface, which alludes to a woven material, while being unmistakably an extruded one: paint.

Most of Mysliwiec’s works are much larger, but no less intricate, and time-intensive. So there’s something rare here: a painting made in one go.

ZOMG there are three more tiny paintings alongside this one on her website. OK, fine, I am a these tiny paintings guy.
