James and I visited the National Gallery of Victoria on Sunday. I was very happy to discover that one of the featured exhibitions was Chinoiserie: Asia in Europe 1620-1840, having a keen interest in this particular era of design and decoration. The display is so beautiful and is on until March 2010. The gallery foyer is a stunning space in itself with diffuse light filtering through, intriguing hidden voids against grand spatial volumes and thoughtful use of tactile finishes conveying a sense of tonal warmth.
