Annick Gendron (1939,[1] in Châtin, Nièvre – 22 October 2008, in Saint-Cloud), was a French abstract painter.

In the 1970s Gendron's innovative way of using and manipulating industrial material and tools as plastic, glass, hydraulics press and centrifuges.

Gendron's painting and thought process has always revolved around using often surprising materials plexiglas, fossils, toy soldier, glitters, sponges.

Damien Hirst got the same idea in the 1990s, as her he transcends the original practice, by the use of more spectacular materials, sizes, shapes, and skill improvement.

During a period of 10 years, Gendron exhibited with artists and friends such as Philippe Derome, Eugène de Kermadec, Chu Teh-Chun, Albert Feraud, Ladislas Kijno and 1940s artists and designer as Chana Orloff, Paul Dupré-Lafon, Jean Dunand, André Arbus.
