MURSIC - AU VILLAGE

Gérard Mursic's subjects are as rich as they are varied. Natural landscapes, seascapes, urban environments, still lifes or floral arrangements are evoked in the artist's oil paintings in a spontaneous and fleeting manner. Evocation is indeed at the heart of his approach, which favors intuition over expression, sensuality over intellect.

Proceeding by additions, removals, and erasures, the artist develops a singular technique producing subtle effects or, conversely, dynamic movements. In the manner of watercolor, he favors white, which places contrast at the heart of the composition. “The canvas is a search, an exploration,” asserts Gérard Mursic. Working with forms and colors, varying rhythms and experimenting with lights and textures, the artist cherishes the interactions between what complements but does not resemble each other.

For it is instinct that shapes the painter's raw material. Freed from the constraints of drawing and representation, Gérard Mursic lets himself be carried away by his themes into the creative whirl. Along the way, the subject sometimes evaporates, disperses, or becomes lost, forcing the spectator to engage in turn in the aesthetic process, taking ownership of the canvas, projecting their imagination onto it.
