fritillaria

Monday on the 'show off' shelf; the Fritillaria meleagris.

I'm fond of these spring bulbs!
The checkered patterns of the flowers are incredibly sophisticated, one by one small graphic artworks.

The Fritillaria postcard is the work of artist Martin Jarrie.

martin jarrie

Martin Jarrie exhibition at VILLA AUGUSTUS.

In the restaurant you can find two works by the French artist Martin Jarrie; [a gardener in his garden] and [a red and white checkered cup]. In the market you can buy postcards and books, illustrated by Jarrie.

Villa Augustus clearly is a fan of the painter & illustrator Jarrie from Paris. This weekend is your last chance to visit the exhibition of his work at Galerie Autumn, the pop-up gallery of Villa Augustus in room 24.

Should you drop by on Saturday, come along to say hello to me in the market.

Oh and make sure to walk around the (vegetable)garden, because it is so beautiful!
