The Alliance Française San Diego invites you to embark on a journey through the delicate drawings of Joseph Le Dieu at the exhibition, "Promenade in Normandy," hosted at the Once Upon A Frame gallery in Solana Beach. Enjoy Le Dieu's creations from April 11th to 25th, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an opening reception on April 11th, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. "Promenade in Normandy" offers a delightful immersion into the quaint landscapes and rich history of Normandy. But who is Joseph Le Dieu? Born in 1815 in Avranches, this lawyer turned painter led a life intertwined with art, yet his fame remained confined to the borders of Normandy until recently. Catherine Marie, the current owner of Le Dieu's collection, stumbled upon his works tucked away in a trunk. Since then, in partnership with the French Embassy in Washington, the drawings have journeyed from Edinburgh to San Francisco, garnering recognition from the prestigious Orsay Museum in Paris. "We are thrilled to share this remarkable collection with the San Diego community," expresses Julie Ripoll, Executive Director of the Alliance Française San Diego, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting French language and culture. In addition to French classes, the Alliance Française organizes events such as the SD French Film Festival scheduled for June. The exhibition, which presents a portion of the whole collection, is hosted in the gallery space of Once Upon a Frame, a high end framer, renowned among artists, collectors, and designers in San Diego. With a team of designers hailing from France, the gallery shares a passion for promoting Francophone culture. For more information visit: afsandiego.org

Celebrating 30 Years of Artistic Excellence: Duke Windsor's Milestone Anniversary as a Fine Artist in San Diego County. In 1994, Duke Windsor opened his first art studio only two blocks away on Fourth Avenue, setting the stage for a prolific artistic career. Over the past three decades, Windsor has delved into a diverse array of subjects, with his captivating Urban capes garnering acclaim at juried exhibitions, group shows, and corporate venues throughout Southern California. The exhibition 'Reflections' is a unique exploration of the liminal space between urban landscapes and spiritual introspection. Through large-scale acrylic paintings, I invite viewers to delve into the transformative power of Art in ordinary alleys. The gold leaf skies in these paintings symbolize a deep spiritual reverence within the solitude of the depicted spaces, offering a unique perspective on the familiar. This exhibit features several contemporary cityscapes, and the work on display was created using acrylic and imitation gold leaf. Prepare to be inspired and moved by the transformative power of art. As Duke Windsor commemorates his 30th anniversary as a fine artist in San Diego, we celebrate his remarkable artistic achievements and the indelible impact he has made on the cultural landscape of Southern California and beyond.
