Chateauneuf de Grasse, France

In this French pool house, a faux bois painted folly frames landscape vistas that echo the surrounding countryside. Blurring the line between architecture and illusion, the mural draws on the tradition of trompe-l’œil to create a refined dialogue between interior and exterior. The result is an immersive, site-specific work that pays homage to classical decorative arts while responding to its natural context.
