Minimiam
Why
Following an order in 2002, Akiko and Pierre develop a concept of using miniature train figurines to to illustrate stories of food.
The stories are usually in diptych format (two images).
The first image shows a close up of the action of the figure, but the meaning is not explicit. The second image shows the general scene allowing the viewer to discover the meaning and to continue the adventure according to his or her own references.
Pierre Javelle was a bit of a dunce at school.
He spent his childhood reading comic books which instilled in him a knack for telling stories in few images.
He found his place in art and finished school at the Decorative Art
