Jason D'Aquino: matches are not a toy, but art
Categories: Design and Architecture
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/jason-daquino-matches-are-not-a-toy-but-art.htmlAmerican artist Jason D'Aquino (Jason D'Aquino) is engaged in a rare genre in modern art — miniature. If you really want to be original, then be it to the end, Jason decided, and began to draw his miniatures on matchboxes. He usually prefers political and cinematic themes; among the latter, episodes from classic science fiction productions and noir films predominate. Bravo, Mr. D'Aquino!
His work seems to come from the last century, from the elegant 50s and 60s — such "retro boxes". All drawings are made with graphite rods, a magnifying glass is also used.
