Fantastically detailed scenes of everyday life with a twist from Paige Jiyoung Moon

These painted scenes from Paige Jiyoung Moon are so wonderfully intricate, a new detail pops out each time you see them. Capturing domestic scenes like people drinking coffee, friends watching a film or a family eating lunch together, it’s the mundanity of what Paige paints that makes her miniature worlds so inviting as the viewer tries to pick out some sort of irregularity.

First spotted over at Booooooom, many of Paige’s landscapes are brilliant studies of human behaviour that highlight this separate togetherness that happens so often in close circles, like being able to watch television with no direct interaction with the other person for hours on end.

The vast amount of thought and depth the Korean-born, California-based artist has placed in her painted vignettes works incredibly well with details including tiny rashers of bacon neatly lined up on a plate, slippers tucked quietly beneath a desk and the tangle of wires from laptop and phone chargers to name a few. It’s these well-observed touches that allow you to become fully immersed in Paige’s fascinatingly humdrum world.
