Jonas Gerard (Casablanca, Morocco, 1941–2020) was a self-taught spontaneous abstract expressionist painter. He began his artistic career on the streets of New York City and spent many decades in the Miami area. In his later years, he operated two large galleries, each with its own working studio, in Asheville, North Carolina’s River Arts District.

Guided by the rhythmic influence of music, drumming and dance, Jonas worked spontaneously and playfully, creating a large and vibrant body of work in high-quality acrylic paint on canvas and panel. His remaining artworks continue to be collected and cherished by many.
