A new challenge by Uchida Hiroshi, a Western-style painter known for his meticulous oil paintings.

Even if you think, "That's a beautiful painting," there is limited space or wall space available to display it, so you can't easily keep it on hand.
Uchida listened to the voices of his fans and put a lot of effort into creating his "small oil paintings."

The numerous works presented in this exhibition, which has the image of "small treasures," are painted on thin copper plates using traditional classical techniques, small but delicately, to suit modern lifestyles. Copperplate oil paintings are almost unknown in Japan, but they have a long history as missionaries would carry them with them when they went abroad to spread their faith, as they are durable and compact.

Uchida's works, which mainly consist of still lifes, draw the viewer into a world of tranquility.
Why not decorate your room with a small oil painting that is full of the charm of classical techniques?

This exhibition also features a collaboration with "Nukaji Yuyuga Miyai Yuzuru," who creates unique frames for his artworks. By framing Uchida's artworks in Miyai's frames, they become fresh, catchy, and familiar works.
Please come and see these special works.

Hiroshi Uchida

Oil painter. At the age of 21, he happened to watch a Julian Schnabel film (starring Basquiat) and was inspired to become a painter. He initially painted abstract paintings, but became interested in drawing and gradually moved to representational painting. He particularly focuses on still lifes of fruit, flowers, ceramics, and other objects. He began working as an artist after coming to realize that he wanted to apply the appeal of classical techniques to modern lifestyles.
