Born in 1928, Gérard Sendrey lives in Bégles, a suburb of Bordeaux, France. He worked as an administrative executive until the age of 40, when he decided to devote the rest of his life to painting. He began drawing, employing a technique of finely meshed lines, obsessively covering the paper and creating a delicate graphic texture in which figures, mostly human, appear unexpectedly. He often works in a stylistic series, with each style employing a technique that he, himself, has created. Since 1979, Sendrey’s reputation, and demand for his artwork has grown. He had his first major retrospective this year at the Musée Création Franche, in Bégles, France. His works are in major collections throughout the world including the permanent collections of the Collection de L’Art Brut in Lausanne, L’Aracine in Villeneuve D’Ascq, the Fabuloserie in Dicy and Le Centre de Diffusion D’art en Marge in Brussels, the Museum de Stadshof in Zwolle and the American Museum of Folk Art in New York.
