Joneleit's artistic work is primarily about making marks through intuitive scribbles and lines to set surfaces for the eyes of the viewer. The liveliness and physicality of his visual vocabulary reflect energies engaging the viewer like a magnet, drawing the viewer to not just glance at the artwork, but encouraging each viewer to read an artwork. For Joneleit, painting serves as an important catalyst to identify various new ways of engaging with one another.
