An Asian Style Paravent with opulent Carvings

This Asian style paravent belongs to a couple of wood carvings which are opulent and a sensuous feast of forms and ornaments, something that the viewer is supposed to discover by looking at its details and touching it... (Read more about it here)

This paravent could be an excellent room devider and has therefore more to offer than just being an eyecatcher for any interior design.

The following photos are detail shots of this paravent, which has been carved from solid pine and not from illegally cut tropical woods.

 

The following two photos show how the paravent looks like when it is half folded and completely folded from the back.

A handcarved Paravent in the Entrance Hall...

In the case you own a house with lots of space you would have the wonderful opportunity to do something special for your entrance hall.
My suggestion is to place a paravent against the wall as in this example. The handcarved artwork would easily attract the visitor to look a little bit closer and prepare the viewer for more treasures?
A paravent has a big advantage - you could place it against a wall or you can separate a room in different segments or you could hide unattractive but necessary constructional elements. There are many different possibilities.

If you would like to know more about this artwork please see here and here. It is a 5-panel piece with extra foot pieces which serve as a kind of stabilizing pedestal, that can be separated completely.

The Vision...of a perfect Sunroom

I thought about another setting for the painted Silk Scroll The Vision. Why not hanging something on a big window as a kind of shading after the glass has been darkened...
It is out of question that the delicate ornaments of the scroll go very well together with the sophisticated decoration of a Moroccan/eastern style interior.
This scroll has been described in detail here

Bodhisattwa - a handcarved Paravent in a Modern Living Room

As you can imagine the size of this handcarved paravent requires a large room or hotel lounge. This example is only one idea of many to show that this Asian style art work can be combined easily with modern designed furniture. A pre-requisite would be that you don't have too many different colours in the room. But then it's your choice - isn't it?

The Vision - a handpainted Silk Scroll in a Lounge or Lobby

The Vision (the link here leads you to larger and detailed photos of the art work on my painter blog Images and Imagination) is from the Ornaments series, a little series of 3 handpainted silk scrolls, inspired by Indian culture and Buddhist art which invite you to touch, urge you to become part of it because of its vividness, colours, richness and wealth of forms.
