Laurence Jenkell is a contemporary French artist. Working primarily with sculpture, Jenkell's practice obsessively revolves around a single motif: depicting larger-than-life wrapped pieces of candy using Plexiglas, resin, and cast aluminum. Referencing the appropriated commercialism of Pop Art and French New Realism, these sculptures have achieved widespread commercial success in the public sphere, with Jenkell receiving commissions by companies and events such as Coca-Cola, the rugby World Cup, and the G20 summit. Her work has also been exhibited by the Villa Datris Foundation in L’Isle sur la Sorgue, the Grand Palais in Paris, and the Deniel Besseiche Gallery in Seoul, among others. Born on December 31, 1965 in Bourges, France, she went on to study applied arts in both London and Heidelberg. Today, she and lives and works in Vallauris, France.
