Capetonian Lorraine Loots started painting a miniature a day on 01 January 2013. It started as a side project to enable her to indulge her love of painting, but has since then gathered meaning and momentum. She now has a website on which you can ‘reserve’ a painting –and they are booked up well in advance! The miniatures are ‘more than meets the eye’: they are exquisite replications of our world and the things we love rendered in minute perfection, forming a tiny and, paradoxically, vast body of work.
Postcards for ants is an exquisite retrospective collection from miniaturist artist and global Instagram phenomenon Lorraine Loots. It includes high-quality reproductions of her entire 2014 collection: 365 Miniature watercolours inspired by Cape Town in its role as World design capital 2014. Part art book, part Cape Town tourist guide, Postcards for ants puts a microscope onto one of the world’s most beautiful cities, and is an instant collector’s must-have.
This extraordinary book is an absolute must for map lovers. Described, rather enticingly, as a ‘wonderful, obsessive-compulsive absurdity’ it consists of a series of exquisitely detailed old-world style maps of various twenty-first century pop-culture phenomena, such as: The Map of YouTube, The Music Map, The Map of Stereotypes and The Corporate World Map. Vargic is original, inventive, humorous and insightful.
