THE FOLDING SCREEN FEATURES WHIMSICAL LINES IN BURNT SIENNA, OCHRE, ULTRAMARINE BLUE AND DARK BROWN HUES ON AN OFF WHITE BACKGROUND EVOKING THE CONTOURS OF TROMPE L’OEIL FRENCH WALL PANELLINGS. THIS DESIGN REFLECTS ON THE ICONIC ENTRANCE HALL DECOR OF GUERLAIN PARIS CREATED BY CHRISTIAN BÉRARD IN 1930.

​

CRAFTED FROM PINE WOOD, THE FOLDING SCREENS SHOWCASE INTRICATE ARTWORKS PAINTED BY GERGEI ERDEI, UTILIZING DRY BRUSH MOVEMENTS TO RECREATE THE ANTIQUE EFFECT OF CRUMBLING ANCIENT FRESCOES. ERDEI SKILLFULLY JUXTAPOSES MULTIPLE REFERENCES, SEAMLESSLY WEAVING TOGETHER GREEK AND ROMAN DEITIES WITH THE ROBUST 2-DIMENSIONAL HUMAN ILLUSTRATION STYLE OF ANCIENT EGYPT CREATING A VISUAL TAPESTRY THAT NARRATES STORIES OF THE PAST. EACH FOLDING SCREEN IS A LABOR OF LOVE, TAKING 5-7 DAYS TO FINISH, AND IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND MASTERPIECE.
