An artist has painted three microscopic re-creations of Van Gogh masterpieces on a watch mechanism.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 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.Image source,Mr Lindon said he had to work at night to avoid distractions and vibrations from traffic
