The Doll’s House Art Gallery and Proper Sound shop and cafe/bar on Chestergate in Macclesfield bring you the Proper Small exhibition of portrait art - we created the opportunity to make a portrait in any medium for an Open Call to exhibit in our 1:12 scale Gallery on Park Lane.
The 74 submissions are a wonderful mix of depictions of artists, musicians, celebrities and family members (including pets), framed in 50x35mm keyrings. The submitting artists - who live mostly in Macclesfield, Stockport and Manchester but also as far away as Canada and Texas - have created portraits of people they admire, strong or talented or just think are brilliant! They range from embroidery, crochet, wire drawing and collage to drawings, paintings and digital art.
