2. Turquoise Dreams, by Diane Detalle
Acrylic on canvas, 2018
"These colors come to me from my trips to my favorite escape, St Barth. Whatever is going on in my life I just want to dream of the sunset going down on that turquoise water."
Diane Detalle grew up on the French Riviera and graduated in business management before moving to Paris, London and then New York, where she originally worked in the finance sector. Having come to live and work in several countries, it is no small accident that her art reflects a genuine 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.
Painted on the floor through flourishes of the knife and often through a dripping technique, 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 at the moment of committing body and soul to the canvas. Momentum also shows clearly in her work, the revolutions of a gyroscope above the linen, allowing the viewer to both maintain and change orientation.
Note: must be taken home after the Gala event. Spruce Street School PS 397 PTA will not not responsible for the physical storage of the work of art after the auction.
Estimated value: $5,300
