Blurb/Shorttext:
This beautifully crafted book offers a unique glimpse into the creative process behind curating some of the most exquisite exhibitions. The two-person exhibition, ODYSSÉE, took place at the Neptune Gallery on the historical port of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, celebrating the city’s 120th anniversary. The city, rich in historical creativity, inspired the likes of Winston Churchill, Jean Cocteau, Picasso, Henri Matisse, Chagall, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Elizabeth Taylor, Charlie Chaplin, and many more on the beautiful ports of the French Riviera.
Through a blend of insightful diary notes from international curator Rachel D. Vancelette and stunning artistic imagery from contemporary artists Diane Detalle and Billy Zane, readers are invited on a captivating journey through the exhibition, celebrating the picturesque and vibrant influence of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. Perfect for art lovers and aspiring curators alike, this unique collector's edition is a testament to the passion and vision that drive the art world.
The tactile and analog act of painting through two different lenses, both trained upon the same shore of self-discovery, provides a timeless sanctuary for one’s expression and a reminder of how, in today’s rapidly changing landscape within a new technological age, we can always return to the basic, the physical as a gateway to the metaphysical. Through the exhibition “Odyssée,” we invite you to delve into the essence of solitary creation, to witness the raw, improvisational, gestural beauty that emerges when an artist confronts painting as an almost involuntary experience.
