Opening night September 14th 6:30-8:30 pm

In an age of instant image making, Dianne’s oil paintings are creations of rare beauty that can hold you mesmerized by their physical presence and perfection.

Cinematic in nature, each a mysterious moment frozen still and depicted in dramatic colour with a brooding tonal undercurrent. Often described as Hopper-esque or as being filled with solitude, a world is carefully created and only exists on canvas to be played out in your mind.

Before a painting is created and the first touch of the brush reaches the canvas, weeks will often pass by sourcing models, dresses from all over the world, furniture, objects and locations. The meticulous paintings, detailed in every nuance, are then carefully composed to tell a story without being literal.

Scarcity is inevitable, as each painting takes many months to complete.

The paintings themselves, can be seen to allude to women feeling disconnected within the reality of their world and themselves. They seldom face you and they do not allow your gaze to meet theirs.

You become the voyeur of a momentary solitary reflection.

Dianne has spent 30 years of honing her skills and vision to make her an instant international success.

Dianne has been exhibiting internationally in recent years with shows in New York, San Francisco, Berlin and Los Angeles ….and Dianne’s paintings are being noticed, dubbed “Hollywood Di” after being sought out and collected by Hollywood royalty, J.J. Abrams (Star Wars, Star Trek) and Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Spy).

Dianne Gall returns to exhibiting in Australia during September 2017 with her highly anticipated solo exhibition at Metro Gallery in Melbourne.

Paintings are already being snapped up for record prices, such as the major painting “Everybody knows” which is heading to the USA and into the prestigious Bennett Collection.
