2008 was an important year for Frank Jons, as he was selected for Mac Paris for the second time and received the CAL’s Pierre Werner Prize for his paintings Le temps de la confiance The Everest Way and Celui que tu aimes

 

The works from this period reflect the artist’s inner turmoil, which he struggled to contain. His creative process implies real physical commitment, as witness the sheer energy his work radiates. Only the small bubbles testify to his ongoing research on fluidity. Following the same thematic thread, they make way for large, more tightly controlled vertical drippings in 2009, the year he produces Passer à autre chose and Une autre voie.
