Recently, my obsession with Chinoiserie has been
stronger than ever.
This "Chinese-esque" style has been a recurring
theme since the seventeenth century. Typically characterized by the use of
fanciful imagery of an imaginary China, asymmetrical in format and with
whimsical contrasts of scale.
These images show Chinoiserie as a motif on wallpaper and wall panels
however the motif can be applied to number objects- porcelain, textiles, 3-d
carved objects and many others.
