Slinkachu takes figures from miniature train sets and painstakingly modifies them so that they can be used as part of his almost invisible world.
He creates comical, satirical and sometimes slightly dark scenes with these figures, places them all over the world, shoots them with spectacular quality and then leaves them to become part of the scenery.
What an exciting concept and so twenty-first century! Any web 2.0 person with a strong interest in art has to embrace this concept.
Not surprising that the idea blossomed in a philosopher mind – Hilary Lawson who is also a documentary film maker.
Artists Statement:
Initially trained as a traditional figurative sculptor and Mouldmaker. I now seek to find new meaning and relevance in old outmoded techniques.
I’m fascinated by the idea of the public monument and much of my work revolves around the need to investigate the way in which society records events and people by casting them in metal and stone.
