SOME of the world’s smallest sculptures by the internationally-acclaimed sculptor, #WillardWigan, will be on display at the landside All Bar One Bar and Restaurant at #BirminghamAirport.
Following Wigan’s successful tour in the US and Australia, and after being featured in promotion of the Hollywood blockbuster Antman, some of his works – sculptured within the eye of a needle, or on the head of a pin – will be on display in Wigan’s hometown of Birmingham.
Wigan says: ‘As a child, I was always told that as a dyslexic black boy growing up in the Midlands, I would amount to nothing. I wanted to show the world that ‘nothing’ does not exist. I created artwork of such minute proportions that they are not visible to the naked eye. The smallest things often have the largest impact. I believe my artwork expresses the same. It is a privilege to exhibit my work in my home town, at Birmingham Airport.’
His work includes an interpretation of da Vinci’s, The Last Supper, Cinderella and her ugly sisters and stepmother in the eye of the needle, and Prince Albert on the head of a pin.
A collection of 16 sculptures will be on display at Birmingham Airport for a limited time, each one being housed in a microscope viewing unit.
Richard Gill, Birmingham Airport’s head of commercial, added: ‘This is an interesting and different exhibition which I am sure will appeal to passengers both young and old. The pieces are unique and quite incredible.’
