I don't know much about Masaru Shichinohe (the site is not in English), other than the fact that he is an amazing artist. His painted world is populated almost entirely by children (particularly a curious nurse-girl character), and straddles between whimsy and tension.

Want more info on this artist. What are these little girls doing? Love it...tell me more please someone.

A singular painter. His pictures are silent, strongfull, strange. There is something special which tells me.

" The Mind, Inside" Exhibition.
The 21 images follow a "inner path" I called "the Mind
Inside", a path leading the viewer inside the mind (and inside
the heart).Black embeds the images, as they emerge slowly from
the emptiness of the mind, blurred from inside by the "inner
objects".
They combine in a random alchemy, they overlap
to form a new "identity"; memory
works dynamically, not photographically, linking, indissolubly, to
the visible.
The virtual exhibition:" the Mind Inside"is available at:
