| Born in New York City, Mr. Gentile attended the New York School of Visual Arts where he studied Fine Arts, Graphic Design and Three Dimensional Design. After that he went on to spend 2 years in Japan studying Martial arts and Sumie (Japanese brush drawing). During a brief visit to Bali, meeting many talented Balinese craftsmen he saw the opportunity to create his art by merging his contemporary sensibilities with the traditional Balinese craft of stone carving. His paintings and sculptures have been widely exhibited and appear in collections worldwide. These works often serve as the basis for the carved stone murals featured here. These relief carvings appear in private collections and public space with commissions coming from Japan, Nepal, France, Spain, Germany, Australia, Fiji, the United States, Indonesia and others. |
