Upcoming Events

The Artistry of Italy:  Architecture . Form . Food.

You are invited to a private preview of Diane Epstein’s Photography on Wednesday, March 7th at 6:00 pm at 1560 Cardiff Avenue near S. Beverly Drive in Los Angeles. Designers, architects, collectors and all those who have a passion for and enjoy Italy are welcome.   Refreshments will be served, and there will be a discussion on Italian culture, cuisine and art, as depicted through architecture, Roman and Venetian cityscapes, angels, goddesses, nature and a series of fruit and vegetables.

Epstein’s revolutionary technique captures the age old patina of a fresco while conveying a contemporary, visually poetic interpretation.  In her latest series, the neutral textural surfaces are juxtaposed with an overlay of shape, form, contour, architectural line and sensual curves that emerge beneath the layers.  Her work superimposes numerous shots and artfully blends them, capturing depth and texture and merging them in various degrees of opacity and translucence. 

Diane Epstein, Rome-based photographer, will present her images, from the luscious shape and texture of food to sculptural and architectural themes. Her vibrant colors are reminiscent of Renaissance frescoes while more recent works are characterized by subtle monochromatic hues and delicate white-on-white images.  

We look forward to seeing you for a fun and festive evening of Italian art and culture.

Diane Epstein, an American fine art photographer has made Italy her home since 1995. She has a keen eye towards bringing to life Ancient and Renaissance Rome, as well as other old-world cities. Epstein captures an original view of the monuments, statues, fountains and the hidden with a textural, timeless quality. With her own innovative form of photography, she revives the large-scale narrative painting and panoramic vistas of another time, while still retaining the architectural details of today.

Epstein’s signature “fresco” style of photography is created using a distinctive technique of layering multiple images, including ancient sites and the richly encrusted walls of Rome to design a painterly, textured picture, developing an illusion of shape and depth on a two dimensional surface. She manages to portray visual ambiguities to allure the eye, with painted pillars, columns and cupolas that cast depth into the viewer’s space.

Rather than seven layers of paint applied to a plastered wall, Epstein’s fresco series may use seven or more layers of photographs taken in old world cities of today, dissolving into elaborate displays of ethereal architecture and spectral visions of what lies beneath the surface.

Over the last decade Epstein has exhibited widely in Europe and most recently, in the U.S. Some of Italian exhibitions include in Rome at the American Academy, the American Embassy, the Residence of the Belgian Ambassador, John Cabot University and Al Vicario 31, and in Umbria at the museum, Il Chiostro Boccarini   Rome Luxury Suites has a permanent display of her work at hotel, Babuino 181, next to Piazza del Popolo, where Epstein’s Photography is featured in each of their suites and lobbies. Architect Fabrizio Magnaghi is using over 30 of her photographs, including the large-scale fresco images in frames up to six feet tall. Her large-scale images are also displayed in the lobby of  the Hotel Margutta, 54 in Rome, and soon at the Mario dei Fiori, 37.
