About Starry Night


Starry Night is an oil-on-canvas painting created by the Expressionist artist Edvard Munch in 1893. This night landscape represents the coastline at Åsgårdstrand, a small beach resort south of Oslo in Norway, where Edvard Munch had spent his summers since the late 1880s.

Bournemouth artist paints microscopic Van Gogh works inside watch

Apr 18,2020 6:17 pm

An artist has painted three microscopic re-creations of Van Gogh masterpieces on a watch mechanism.

David A Lindon, from Bournemouth, said he spent six months rendering the 0. 5mm (0. 02-inch) paintings by hand.

Mr Lindon, who began work as a micro artist in 2019, has previously miniaturised works by Banksy, Monet and Munch.

The Watch , which is on display at an Art Gallery in Shropshire, is being offered For Sale for £150,000.

Mr Lindon previously said his work required being in " almost emotionless trance" to control his hands and breathing.

The former aircraft engineer said he worked at night to avoid distractions and vibrations from traffic.

The Watch contains works including The Starry Night , Sunflowers and a Van Gogh self-portrait, which revolve as The Mechanism moves.

The paintings are just 0. 5mm (0. 019 inches) in size, which is smaller than a full stop.

Hammond Galleries in Shifnal said The Watch was " The World 's first wearable Art Gallery " although its exhibits cannot be seen with the Naked Eye .

Mr Lindon is planning further trilogy watches featuring works by Banksy, Dali, Picasso and Warhol.
