He has received numerous awards, and has been recognized in a variety of print media for his achievements so far. “ I’ve always been extremely connected to place, hence my love for the natural landscape. In fact, landscape is arguably the most important element of human existence. Without it we’d all be floating around in space with nothing to eat. That being said, painting beautiful places comes very naturally, and my high-definition presentations of them exemplify their importance to me. Recently, I’ve discovered a means of expressing ideas beyond the limits of representation through abstract expressionism. While elements of landscape may still be present, they are merely implied, rather than depicted directly. Color and design are the emphasis. These “random acts of beauty” are dripped, poured, and thrown onto the support, providing a wonderful counterbalance to the precision of the landscapes.” Email: jon@jonathanfrankstudio.com Website: www.jonathanfrankstudio.com
