About the Item

This exceptional three-panel screen by artist Gustavo Novoa is a rare hand-painted work showcasing his whimsical take on Chinoiserie style. Signed by the artist, the screen likely dates to the 1980s and was crafted in the United States, where Novoa, a Chilean-born painter, was actively producing work during that period. The composition features a fanciful fantasy landscape populated by monkeys, birds, florals, pagodas, and decorative flags—each rendered in finely detailed, soft tonal brushwork. Stylized flora and fauna evoke an otherworldly tropical garden, anchored in the chinoiserie tradition yet unmistakably Novoa’s in palette and playfulness. This hand-painted Chinoiserie screen by Gustavo Novoa functions equally well as a wall-mounted artwork or as a decorative divider. A striking and unusual piece that will enhance any eclectic, Hollywood Regency, or maximalist interior. This screen is from the collection of famed Beverly Hills designer Barbara Lockwood.
