Pencils & Perfumes : Where my drawings meet the olfactive world
チェスター・ギブスです。1969年、オランダ生まれです。 私はこれまでずっと旅と芸術を愛してきました。とくに日本は私にとって大好きな旅先の1つです。 私は2002年、アムステルダムのリートフェルト芸術アカデミーを卒業しました。もっと創作しなければと思うこともありますが、現在もなお芸術を作りつづけています。私が好きなのは絵で、紙を選び、鉛筆やインク、ペンといった道具を使って描いています。また、約4年前から香水にも興味をもつようになりました。 このサイトには私の絵の世界を載せていますが、それだけではなく、私が魅かれ、愛してきた、目には見えないがにおいのするもの、すなわち、香水についてもお伝えできればと思っています。私は、今、香りというものを形と色でとらえようとしています。そして、将来、いつか私の絵の本質を香りでとらえられればと思っています。 かおりのご挨拶まで チェスター Chester Gibs, 2018 Amsterdam.
