Gendron Jensen draws bones. Detailed precise images of bones. Kicked out of a monastery in his 20's, Jensen spent 17 years as a semi-hermit on a rented farm in northern Minnesota honing his technique - before leaving for a new life and love in the mountains of New Mexico. For more than 40 years, the artist has transformed bones, relics and other 'mortal leavings' into meticulously rendered, often monumental graphite drawings that compel us to look beyond the ordinary to a deeper, more spiritual realm.
