New York City from the inside looking out
Street Art
Street artist Slinkachu takes his art to a miniature level. Launching his Little People Project in 2006, Slinkachu leaves his miniature figures to defend for themselves in big cities. The Acropolis, Athens, Greece, Homomonument area, Amsterdam, and Holland Wandsworth, London, are only a few places he has snapped photos of his creations before abandoning them.

Like the colors of oil in pooled street water, New York City artists bring a beauty to a city that city dwellers so many times overlook. There is a magic that lingers just under the city’s smog. Sprinkling itself on the dreamers that believe in New York City anyone can be anything. Those artists who are immersed in the magic of New York can testify that developing an art that rises above the city’s millions can prove a difficult task. But such is the beauty about New York. In such a concentrated area of inhabitants living one on top of another, the known and the unknown artists can one day find a platform for their medium.
Stephen Wiltshire climbed into a helicopter and took a twenty-minute ride over Manhattan’s historic skyline. From those twenty minutes, Wiltshire began producing an 18ft sketch referring only to his memory. Diagnosed with autism at an early age, Wiltshire found that he communicated best with pictures.
