Large sculpture in red and black lacquered resin, Wrapping Bonbon by Laurence Jenkell (1965) Original work titled "Marches" Exceptional sculpture of the largest size that exists. Dated 2010, signed on the aluminum terrace Height: 204 cm. This candy was exhibited on the roof of the Paris CCI on avenue de Friedland, then in the park of a property. Laurence Jenkell is of French origin, she lives and works in Vallauris. It is in her workshops that she reinvents the processes of transforming materials, orients herself towards crystallization and creates by drawing inspiration from current influences and trends in fashion, design and our consumer society. One of his sources of inspiration: sweets. More than a medium, the candy interpreted by Laurence JENKELL becomes a “language” A specialist would say that her candy sculpture is a radical gesture stemming from the semantic content of Pop Art and New Realism.
