The lovely, effervescent French sculptor Laurence Jenell, popularly known as JENK, is a self-taught contemporary artist, now celebrated worldwide for her distinctive Wrapping Candy sculptures.

The artist currently lives and works on the Cote d’Azur, and in 2022, opened a workshop/gallery in Monaco to exhibit her work.

Her large twisted “bon-bon” sculptures have captured the world by storm and are now exhibited in over 50 countries –owned by governments, and now flowing into a growing number of important private and institutional collections.

JENK was honored with a Knighthood of the French Order of Arts and Letters in 2019; and become a celebrated international art celebrity.
And to think, all of this was the result of the fact that the artist was not allowed to eat sweets as a child – the impetus for her obsession.

Exhibited today in more than fifty countries and prized in hundreds of important private, public, and institutional collections and numerous galleries. JENK has even been awarded the honor of being made a Knight of the French Order of Arts and Letters in 2019.
