For years, Laurence Jenkell has supported numerous organizations working in the areas of social solidarity, health, and the protection of the most vulnerable. These include, notably, the Red Cross, the Telethon, Children of the Mekong, SOS Breast Cancer, the Cancer Research Center, and the Women's Foundation, which is dedicated to combating violence against women.
Her commitment is also reflected in collaborations with several healthcare institutions, including the Nantes University Hospital, the Marseille Hospital, and the Hôpital l'Archet in Nice-particularly in support of its palliative care unit.
Laurence Jenkell has also participated in several initiatives to support healthcare workers, including "Solidarité avec les Soignants" led by Anne Roumanoff to support healthcare workers.
She also regularly participates in major charitable events such as the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation Gala, initiatives benefiting children through the Courchevel Sports Club, and the "Nuits d'Initiatives."
When Art Meets Medicine
Some of her collections naturally resonate with the medical community. This is particularly true of the DNA series, inspired by the double helix-a universal symbol of life, transmission, and scientific research.
Through this collection, the artist establishes a dialogue between contemporary art, science, and humanity. The works take on a special significance when they support initiatives benefiting hospitals, medical research, or organizations dedicated to fighting disease.
A Commitment True to her Values
This spirit of solidarity is an integral part of his artistic journey. While her sculptures are now found in private collections, galleries, museums, and public spaces around the world, they have also, for many years, been part of initiatives where art becomes a powerful vehicle for generosity, connection, and hope.
