Have a pick at
Chinoiserie project

The work of my friend and colleague  muralist Frédéric Lère
inspired me this  Christmas painting "Greetings from China"...

Greetings from China  Pierre Marcel, 1997, Guerny, France.
Acrylic on canvas 19 x 25 inches   Collection Marylin Seltzer, Miami

Story:
Just around Christmas 1997, I was assisting my friend Frédéric Lère with a "Chinese mural" commissioned for a music room in New Jersey. In addition to having to endure the insufferable New York  wintry cold, I had to cope with a mountain of documentation on traditional Chinese designs.

Pierre Marcel was an assistant to Frederic for the Chinoiserie project.
The first painting that Pierre did in France, immediately after completion of the "Chinoiserie project", reflects just that.
