Celebrates New Space with a Grand Opening Reception and Painting Performance
Jonas Gerard’s new gallery at Riverview Station is the result of the powerful synergies possible when creative growth aligns with a thriving business.
New explorations in flow painting techniques and a love for larger canvases, on top of an already vibrant and extensive body of work, has turned Gerard’s Clingman Avenue location into a cornucopia of color. When it became obvious that his artistic imagination was bigger than the walls of one gallery, the search began for an additional location.
Large paintings are where Jonas’ creative spirit soars best. The new gallery was designed in accordance with Feng Shui concepts, allowing energies to flow and creating the perfect blank canvas for Jonas to explore the nature of creativity, light and color. Its large walls and performance space are filled with everything from his new flow paintings to landscapes and sculptures.
The grand opening for the 4,700 sq. ft. gallery kicks off on Saturday, April 12 with the 2nd Saturday Live Painting Performance at 2 p.m., followed by the Opening Reception from 4-8 p.m. Live music, hors d’oeuvres, wine, and refreshments paired perfectly with vibrant art, will make this a celebration not to be missed.
Together, the Jonas Gerard at Riverview Station and Jonas Gerard on Clingman Avenue galleries will house the fresh new creative rewards of a lifetime spent in art.
