A physical engagement with painting – in the true sense of the word. A constant struggle where anger coexists and clashes with tenderness, sadness, love and happiness. The music’s loud. The player gets stuck on the same song, and after a while I’ve had enough of it. I’m looking down on the canvas, I’m walking around it, I become one with it. My painting is all focus and fluidity, but also full of contradictions – between the energy of the initial attack and the composure needed for its development, between the passion of feelings and the calm that follows it, between the violence of chaos and the gentleness of love. This is the story of my inner turmoil.

Between retrospective and actuality, the exhibition Histoires d'art retraces and puts into context this chapter of the history of contemporary art in Luxembourg.

"Frank Jons is a painter and his marble-like organic and random paintings fascinated the designer Feyrouz Ashoura to such point that they decided to develop a texture together fusing both disciplines. Making the painting wearable, making clothes of art.
Following which, Frank painted on leather scraps from which Feyrouz cut out the small pieces of the dress. This became a quest of fractal symmetry, forming alltogether a new kind of armour, second skin, very flexible, yet almost machinical. The leather pieces have been assembled through beadwork, ornating the creases between the reptile mosaic".
