American artist Joe Fig talks about his Contemplation series in which he paints pictures of people in art galleries and museums looking at paintings, most recently last year’s Vermeer exhibition in Amsterdam. He discusses the concept, his process and his fascination with body language. He also talks about the miniature sculptures he makes of artists in their studios, both historical and current, and how he constructs their implements in miniature and in extraordinary detail.
