Despite the spontaneous air, the work is never chaotic, Gerard’s compositions are impeccable. They are about real things, the underside of the seeable world, the side that determines people’s lives, the unobservable one that lies beneath external reality.

Jonas Painting Live - What's It All About?

"Trusting the intuition" ....a captivating experience

While rhythmic music plays in the background, Jonas becomes completely absorbed in expressing what is in his heart with a gestural painting style that appears almost as a spontaneously choreographed dance. To the viewer, it may seem that the painting is done by the music itself while the artist is simply holding the brush. However, the years of dedication to this trust allows an artistic integrity to flow through his work.
