In Celebration of the 120th Anniversary of Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat presenting the exhibition at the NEPTUNE GALLERY| Odyssée
Artist Diane Detalle
Diane Detall, born in Cannes, France, 1974. Diane grew up on the French Riviera and graduated in business management before moving to London and then New York, where she originally worked in the finance sector. Having lived and worked in several countries, it is no coincidence that her art reflects a genuine global richness and variety. Taking the leap from finance to the art world over 10 years ago, Diane translates her free, energetic and spontaneous spirit into her creations. Painting on the floor through a palette knife and often embracing dripping techniques, Diane Detalle's work is rich in vitality and honesty. Each of her paintings becomes an intimate portrayal of her state of mind, a true reflection of her psychology of the moment, and thus commits her body and soul to the canvas. Momentum and change are shown clearly in her artwork, the revolutions of a gyroscope above the linen, allowing the viewer to both maintain and change their viewing orientation. The artist originally from La Côte d’Azur cherishes the beauty and vibrant colors of the region in her creative practice. It is a meaningful homecoming to bring to show for the first time in France.
Artist Billy Zane
Billy Zane, USA, 1966, born in Chicago, Illinois, is an American actor and artist known for his diverse talents both on and off the screen. From his iconic roles in blockbuster films to his passion for painting, Zane's artistic journey is as multifaceted as his career. Zane's acting career began in the late 1980s, quickly gaining recognition for his charismatic performances. He garnered widespread acclaim for his portrayal of Caledon Hockley in James Cameron's epic romance "Titanic," solidifying his status as a Hollywood star. However, alongside his acting pursuits, Zane harbored a deep-seated passion for painting—a creative outlet that allowed him to explore themes beyond the silver screen creating his first painting on the set of the Titanic. Drawing inspiration from his travels, experiences, and storytelling, Zane's paintings exhibit a rich tapestry of colors and textures. His artistic style is dynamic and eclectic, ranging from abstract expressionism to realism, reflecting the depth and versatility of his creative vision. Interestingly, Zane often finds inspiration for his artwork on movie sets, where he immerses himself in the world of filmmaking while simultaneously capturing moments of creativity on canvas. Zane translates the energy and atmosphere into captivating works of art, infusing his paintings with a sense of cinematic drama and storytelling.
