5x Emmy Winner Gabor Csupo Launches gGallery in Santa Monica
Inspired by Csupo's diverse artist taste, gGallery is featuring the works of over 25 artists, from new talent making stunning debut presentations to classic works from the likes of Pop Culture Master Artist Andy Warhol. The 1,900 square foot space is a sight to be seen and explored as it interweaves artists and formats, creating a journey for the aficionado. From paintings, sculpture, drawings, exotic antiques from around the world, mixed-media, and folk art to the lighting and music, every nook is to be explored.
As a tastemaker Csupo does not shy away from introducing new talent and the gGallery is an extension of that, debuting the most innovative artists Los Angeles has to offer, including Baron Margo, famous for his metallic creations that play on the Sci-fi classics of the 1950's like Flash Gordon to pencil signed Marc Chagall and Keith Haring lithographs.
An extensive collector Csupo is showcasing pieces from his private collection including pieces from master game-changers such as the cast bronzes of Pablo Picasso and the pencil strokes of Salvador Dali ... all displayed under mannequins suspended from the ceiling.
"What we have done here is to give unique cutting-edge works of art the place they deserve in modern art history. By showcasing such unique art pieces in our gallery our goal is to captivate, inspire and introduce art lovers to a full range of creativity so that the featured artists gain the attention they deserve and take their place in contemporary art," says gGallery Owner Gabor Csupo.
Other highlights of gGallery include the unique works of Parisian Artist Francoise Neilly who features portraits born of the streets of Paris and showcase the artist's true mastery of the elements of fine art and design as well as beautifully framed Noyer prints. All the artists' works are currently available for purchase. 'gGallery' located at 319 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica will be opening with a Grand Opening party on July 14th, 2012 at 7 pm and then to the public everyday weekly from 11 am to 7 pm. Friday’s from 9 pm to 12:30 am will feature a salon of musical and visual medium artists, under the title “Art-Crowd Cluster”.

Billy Zane debuts as visual artist with "Killing With Love"
For Immediate Release
June 27, 2010
Billy Zane Debuts As Visual Artist
Los Angeles, CA (June 21, 2010) -- Frank Pictures Gallery is delighted to present, KILLING WIT
H LOVE, Billy Zane’s debut show of paintings from June 26th to September 1st, with an opening reception for the artist on Sunday, June 27th from 6:30 to 9:30.
Zane, best known for his achievements as an actor in over 80 films, most memorably as Caledon Hockley in the 1997 film Titanic, began painting during his seven months of filming. It didn’t take long for his interest in painting become more than a pastime, it became a consuming passion, often interrupted by his on set responsibilities. Since then he has set up makeshift art studios on almost every location he has filmed in, the cultural influences and use of only local materials influence his spontaneous abstract offerings.
“I love the surprise. The joy of making do with what you have to work with. The Hardware store, ship yard, roadside dumpsite is my art store and most countries, cities and villages are not short on supplies. If I can’t find canvas, I find old signage, shelf liner, or shipping crates. If I can’t find enough
paint I use soil, clay, wine, spit, anything that adheres.”
He has been further influenced in his art by his practice of the Japanese sword fighting martial art of Kendo. “In Kendo, or Specifically the Samurai ethic and art of swordsmanship, before it was diluted into a sport after WW2, one should not insult their opponent with a mincing, poorly executed cut. It should be decisive, effective, a clean kill, informed with respect for ones adversary and ones own skill. In painting, it’s this commitment to task that interests me most, the cut, the stroke. The act supersedes the message. Logic and meaning, if any, emerge after the fact, but are inherent, like the sculpture in the stone, and only evident when I have been guided by an almost brash confidence. Painting for me, is more physical than psychological or even emotional. Although, I derive great joy from the act and serve an almost insatiable desire to sling paint.”
