Visitors to the gallery are all in agreement that the marquetry of Jean-Pierre Straub is superb. I think I hear the phrase “I’ve never seen anything like it” very very frequently. I’m always quick to respond “He’s the nicest guy too!”, which is true. We enjoyed a great breakfast at Straw Hat yesterday (scallion potato pancakes with poached eggs perched atop, but I digress, as I frequently do…..), and to that end, the gallery has several new works of his, including this rather perfect new work, “Anse du Lagon” (Lagoon Cove). .
