Frieze, pattern, repetitive motifs.


Santa Fe restaurant main room, Moscow, 1993

Pierre Marcel and accomplice Frederic Lere like to compose these repetitive motifs along ceilings. Here, a composition directly dished out this Mexican menu, with the advises of the Chef. New-Mexico vegetables, pepper, garlic, tomatoes, corn, etc...hand painted, on a background of faux finish and ceramic trompe l'oeil. About 24" wide, 200 ft long!.

 

In this other room of Santa Fe restaurant, a simple geometric frise does a lot to give some spark to this dinning room.


 Ochre Faux finish glazing and stenciled border.

Typical Frederic Lere : do you see the telephone, then the banana?
