Jonas Gerard Asheville Art Gallery new abstract art

Very often, the quest for expression leads to exploration not just of new media, but to new tools.

“Sweeping Gestures”, new abstract art by Jonas Gerard, explores the energy and textures made possible when using whisk brooms as brushes.

“My eyes are open to all influences from the worlds of art, nature and beyond.  To force all that through a narrow funnel and limit myself to one style would be to limit creativity itself; I can’t do that.   I create art in a multitude of styles and media because that is the way I experience life.  Abstracts, Landscapes, Mixed Media, Silks, Sculpture… I must live a life of eclectic creativity or be consumed by the creative fire.”  – Jonas Gerard
