When I first visited Gentile's studio in Bali it was like going to a museum of twentieth century art.  I felt like a kid in a candy store.  As an art lover and a student of art history I experienced the joy of being moved by works with meaning and depth. When viewing his work, His training, skill, influences became evident on his canvases.  He is an artist who creates unique and vibrant work yet is unafraid to show the influences of his predecessors.  Paying homage to the masters, his pieces burst with the creativity and excitement of twentieth century art.
