Green Armchair in a French Veranda (Oil on Shikishi)
Ships from Japan.
In this intimate composition created for the Shikishi Art Project, French artist Muriel Louette captures the quiet poetry of a sunlit interior. A green armchair sits in the stillness of a veranda, bathed in natural light that filters through wide windows. Painted in oil on a traditional Japanese shikishi board, the work reflects Louette’s distinctive approach—executed in a single session to preserve the immediacy of light and gesture.
The golden-edged shikishi reinforces the warm luminosity of the scene, while the artist’s confident brushwork suggests both structure and softness. This piece belongs to Louette’s ongoing exploration of domestic space, absence, and the interplay of perception and memory.
Created as part of the Shikishi Art Project by Art San Gallery, this painting bridges Japanese material tradition with a contemporary European gaze.
