A private view in a Paris gallery
Three districts in Paris live to the rhythm of private views: the Marais, between rue de Turenne, rue Vieille-du-Temple and rue Charlot; Saint-Germain-des-Prés, around rue de Seine; and avenue Matignon, in the 8th arrondissement. During a private view, Giulia Dal Bon paints in the room while visitors discover the exhibition. The subject can answer the works on the walls, the venue itself, or follow the music of the evening. Giulia is a painter first, and she shows her paintings in art galleries: she knows the rhythm of a private view, and she paints beside the works on show, which keep the spotlight.
The art season in Paris
Every autumn, Paris lives to the rhythm of its fairs: Art Basel Paris at the Grand Palais in October, then Paris Photo, also at the Grand Palais, in November. Around those dates, galleries hold one private view after another, houses and brands organise dinners and private evenings, and collectors come from all over the world. A live painting gives those evenings a moment the guests watch, admire and photograph, and a canvas that stays with the venue or the host. Giulia speaks Italian, French, English and Spanish: guests who have come a long way talk to her in their own language.
A private evening in Paris
For a birthday, a dinner with friends or a family celebration, Giulia Dal Bon paints live in the place you have chosen: the living room of a Haussmann apartment, the salons of a private mansion, the deck of a barge on the Seine, a rooftop facing the zinc roofs. She paints what makes your evening: the Seine and its bridges, the Eiffel Tower in the distance, the dinner table, or the guests themselves. By the end of the evening the painting is finished and signed, and it stays with you. The page about live painting for a private party sets out every format.
A brand event, a showroom, a shop
For the launch of a collection or a product, the opening of a shop or an evening in a showroom, Giulia paints a canvas that tells the story of the brand in front of your guests: the flagship product, the bottle, the window display, the logo woven into the composition, the colours of the house. She prepares the subject before the day from your references and shows it to you on a sketch. The canvas then stays with the brand, in the shop or in the offices, and the invoice is made out to the company. For a company evening, a seminar or an end-of-year party, the page about corporate live painting in Paris covers everything.
Formats for your evening
The canvas of the evening is the simplest format: Giulia paints live, and the painting is yours that same night. With watercolour portraits of the guests, on watercolour paper, each guest sits for her, alone, as a couple or as a group, and takes their portrait home. For an evening that calls for a highlight, there is the piano and painting show: Orlando & Giulia, Orlando at the piano, with a neoclassical repertoire in the vein of Ludovico Einaudi or Hania Rani, and Giulia painting to the rhythm of the music. Giulia can also paint the canvas upside down and turn it round at the end, if you are looking for a touch of theatre.
In practice, in Paris
The length is up to you, from about twenty minutes to a whole evening. Giulia paints in odourless acrylic, on an easel that fits in the corner of a gallery, a living room or the deck of a barge, with a little light if the evening runs late. She brings the canvas, the colours and the easel, and protects the floor around her. She performs live paintings across Paris and the Île-de-France, and all over Europe: travel and logistics are agreed together in the quote.
Over several dates. If you like the format, Giulia comes back: a series of private views, a whole season or a residency of a few days. The quote is then made for the set, and you fix the dates together.

Can Giulia come for a private evening in a Paris apartment?

Can Giulia paint during an evening on a barge on the Seine?
Yes, as long as the deck or the room offers a steady spot for the easel.

Can a brand’s logo or product appear on the canvas?

What happens to the canvas after the evening?
It is yours that same evening, signed. After a private view it can join the gallery hang; after a private evening it stays with the host; after a brand event it goes up in the shop, the showroom or the offices. For a very large format, Giulia Dal Bon finishes the details in the studio, and the handover date is written in the quote.

In Italian, French, English and Spanish: Giulia Dal Bon speaks all four. In Paris, where private views and evenings bring together guests from several countries, she talks with each of them in their own language while she paints. The quote is free within 48 hours.
