It is famous as a rose hip tea, but rose hip oil is also used as edible oil for jams, Jerry, marmalades, and also for skin care.

The red fruit of rose hips makes you feel the season when you wear it with the Halloween season.

Look at roses not only at the time of flowers but also at the time of fruit.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] October 23, 2016 09:00

Currently, at the Megumi Ogita Gallery in Ginza 2-chome, Dutch artist Chris until November 5th (Sat) at the Dutch artist.•Mr. Berence's second new painting exhibition is being held.

berens01.JPG

He is currently working in the Jordan district of Amsterdam.

berens03.JPG

It's like a dream world.

berens04.JPG

I'm involuntarily drawn into the world of gravitylessness, like jellyfish, goldfish, dandelion fluff and mysterious creatures, pandas, koala and owl floating in space.

berens05.JPG

berens06.JPG

His drawing method is to draw details on a small piece of paper with ink and paste the pieces one after another to make it a single piece.

berens12.JPG

It is difficult to convey in the photo, but when you look at the work up close, you can see each piece of paper stuck together, and it seems that it is effective in creating the world of the work.

berens10.JPG

In this exhibition, about 10 new portraits and group statues of residents in mysterious countries are exhibited in a compact size.

berens11.JPG

He seems to have been influenced by Dutch leading artists Rembrandt and Vermeer, and some of the works on display this time are fantastic images of Vermeer's famous "woman pouring milk" room. There are also works.

In addition, we received special consent for photography in the gallery. Thank you very much
