“A world may be no bigger than two-pence,” wrote 17th-century poet Margaret Lucas Cavendish. This is a real possibility with the miniature paintings of Lorraine Loots (pic), which are no larger than 3cm across, such that you could, if you wanted, hold her worlds in the palm of your hand.

Loots, who is from Cape Town in South Africa, is in Singapore for her first solo exhibition in Asia, which opened recently. Gallery K+ in Scotts Square will be showing more than 100 of her Paintings For Ants until the end of next month.
