MURSIC - LEVER DU JOUR SUR LA BAIE

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

Proceeding by additions, removals, wipes, the artist develops a singular technique producing subtle effects or, conversely, dynamic movements. In the manner of watercolor, he prioritizes white, placing contrast at the heart of the composition. “The canvas is a search, an exploration,” says Gérard Mursic.

Working with forms and colors, varying rhythms and experimenting with lights and textures, the artist cherishes the interactions between what complements one another but does not resemble each other.

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