Gilles and Sana Du Genet are currently working in the South of France. Our gallery's exhibition is the first showing of this relatively young couple in the United States. Both have a deep connection to the surrounding Provence countryside, which is evident in the processes and techniques they employ. Sana's terra cotta sculptures have an unavoidable presence and forceful personality and are a manifestation of her strong social conconscience. Gilles paintings incorporate salvaged architectural pieces and he uses ground ochre from the Provence geography which give his artwork a warm earthen feel.
