The first large scale painting they created together is called "The Passing" dedicated to the memory of Bernie Frank and Alain Amsellem. They took on the n

ame "The Visual Passion Duo" since they are both very passionate about art and painting and thought it a fitting brand after their large scale interactive installation piece at 1978 Maplwood Arts Center hosted Visual Passion: On Love, which was a month long project where Gerard and Mikel transformed Gallery 1978 into a happening event that immersed visitors into all aspects of creativity.
