Little People in the City – the Street Art of Slinkachu

Mixing sharp humour with a delicious edge of melancholy, ‘˜Little People in the City’™ brings together the collected photographs of Slinkachu, a street artist who for several years has been leaving little people in the bustling city to fend for themselves, waiting to be discovered.Meticulously crafted and delightfully observed, the tableaux are inspired: ‘˜They’™re not pets, Susan,’™ says a stern father who has just shot a (giant) bumblebee, its` wings sparkling in the evening sunlight; a lone office worker, less than an inch high, looks out over the river during his lunch break, dreaming of packing it all in; and a tiny couple share a ‘˜last kiss’™ against the soft neon lights of the city at midnight.’˜Oddly enough, even when you know they are just hand-painted figurines, their plights convey something of our own fears about being lost and vulnerable in a big, bad city’™*The Times*
