A vibrant acrylic on canvas titled "Presence Is (2007)" by Jonas Gerard. This composition exemplifies the artist's energetic and intuitive approach to painting. Exploding with saturated color, gestural brushwork, and layered textures, the work creates a sense of movement and spontaneity across the canvas. Bold passages of red, blue, green, yellow, and black converge in a dynamic central focal point, reflecting Gerard's interest in emotion, mindfulness, and the creative process. This painting is a strong example of Gerard's expressive contemporary style.

From a private collection. Dimensions: 48"h x 42"w x 1.5"d (stretched, unframed). In very good condition.
