(24.5 x 17.5 cm) and (38.5 x 29.5 cm)

2. Narrative of Gallery (story of the art dealer)

 A female art dealer with the desire to create a specified spatial experience where the viewer enters an intimate ‘treasure house’ (a term mentioned in Xing’s initial project 3 lecture).
 Alluring architecture should enhance the experience of viewing both dramatic, bright abstract paintings as well as small expressive studies.
 The woman lives alone as she creates an unexpected environment for one to stumble upon at the bottom end of King Street.
The art dealer promotes the art works in two main ways, by designing intense viewing galleries with surreal ‘landscaped’ internal spaces which project a sense of anticipation as well as large entertaining areas both in the living area and in the gallery itself.
