A healthy obsession...




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.
